Example of a femoral shaft fracture where the degree of fracture fragment displacement is grade I. A A 36-year-old man sustained a right femoral shaft fracture with a fracture fragment; B the lateral views after closed intramedullary nailing showing a fragment size of 133.6 mm and a displacement distance of 9.9 mm; C the anteroposterior and lateral views after closed intramedullary nailing showing a displaced fragment presenting as a gap of grade I displacement; D the anteroposterior and lateral views at 3 months postoperatively showing that the callus at the fracture site has grown well; E the anteroposterior and lateral views at 16 months postoperatively showing complete fracture reunion
