Abstract: Interlocking intramedullary nailing of closed tibia fractures is the gold standard in current practice. Sometimes patients present with bent nails following another trauma after a fixation. This is somewhat a rare complication posing a difficult challenge of removal with minimal soft tissue and bone injury in developing countries.We report the removal of an angulated tibia nail following a refracture of the tibia and fibula in a 28 year old woman with minimum soft tissue and bone injury.
