a A comminuted femoral shaft fracture with displaced major fragments. b After 13 days, intramedullary nailing was performed to stabilize the comminuted femoral shaft fracture with residual displaced major fragments on the anterior–posterior image. c Displacement of the major fragments was more pronounced (> 1 cm) on the lateral image. d After a period of 24-month follow-up, the X-ray image showed bone union of the femoral shaft fracture with displaced major fragments
