A ‘Seldinger’ Method to Facilitate Accurate Placement of an End Cap Following Femoral Nailing

Ann R Coll Surg Engl 2006; 88: 224–232 225 To demonstrate the reduction, the sponge is then slid so that the edges match and then the sponge ends reduced. The fracture is then reduced by forceful volar flexion whilst maintaining the traction against the intact material ‘periosteum’ (Fig. 3). The three-point moulding technique of plaster cast immobilisation is represented in our model by the three points that maintain reduction against the intact material (Fig. 4).
