  • Abstract
    The authors report a case of necrosis occurred after diaphyseal femoral intramedullary nailing. The objective of the study was to describe the difficulties of interpretation of radiographs that could suggest a postoperative osteitis. The patient, aged 14 and heterozygous sickle (AS) had received nailing open fire following a highway accident that resulted in a fracture of the femur. Post pictures - operative cortical lysis had suspected osteitis. The absence of clinical signs and scintigraphic images were allowed to establish the diagnosis of diaphyseal aseptic necrosis. The removal of the nail without further treatment was followed by a rapid normalization of radiographic images.
