Abstract
A surgical technique to drain the medullary content during closed femoral nailing by using a Frazier suction tip as a vent is demonstrated. This method is simple, safe and reproducible. The medullary content can be drained outside without surrounding soft tissue contamination and the intramedullary pressure is possibly minimized when femoral canal reaming and nail insertion is performed.
