ABSTRACT
Interlocked intramedullary nailing is widely accepted for treatment of closed femoral shaft fractures. An interlocking screw is inserted percutaneously, and especially the distal screw is inserted without use of a guide. Vascular complications associated with an interlocking screw in intramedullary nailing are rare. No case of delayed pseudoaneurysm caused by a distal interlocking screw has yet been reported in Korea. We present two cases of delayed pseudoaneurysm caused by a distal interlocking screw several months after intramedullary nailing.
