Hi,

Can make out that you underwent femoral nailing procedure.

I am actually not able to understand when it was done and what was your problem.

Kindly send me a photo of X-rays.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Anuj Gupta, Spine Surgeon
