Abstract
The procedure of computer-assisted navigation of femoral shaft fractures is well described. Nevertheless, its use is less common. An unclear disposal and longer operation times might be two reasons. The aim of this technical note is to render assistance concerning the ideal disposal of the setup.
Keywords:
Femur shaft fracture; antetorsion; computer-assisted navigation; fracture reduction; internal fixation.
