Ipsilateral femoral neck/
shaft fractures
For the ipsilateral femoral neck/shaft fracture, the Miss-A-Nail
instruments permit insertion of titanium cannulated screws into
the femoral head, anterior to the nail path, for fixation of the
neck fracture prior to intramedullary fixation of the shaft fracture.
The Miss-A-Nail instruments also permit screw insertion into the
femoral head after nail insertion, for the occult neck fracture.
