Abstract
An improvised method of using a proctoscope as a protector during the reaming procedure for closed retrograde femoral nailing is described. This protector is easy to handle and can be effectively used to protect the intra-articular structures, patellar cartilage and patellar tendon during the reaming process. The protector can also help minimise the reaming bone dust spilling out into the joint cavity.
