Leg length discrepancy (LLD) after intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures is a common problem reported in up to 43% of cases. Comminuted fractures with radiographic loss of bony landmarks have an increased possibility of being fixed with unequal leg lengths. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the efficacy of routinely obtaining a CT scanogram post-operatively on patients of comminuted femoral shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nailing and immediate correction of limb length inequality if indicated.Background
