Abstract
The removal of Küntscher intramedullary nails (IMN), whatever the site of their implantation, may pose specific problems. We report a 60-year-old man who presented with Küntscher tibial intramedullary nail migration through the ankle. We successfully extracted the intramedullary nail by transarticular retrograde technique, with good results at short and long term follow up.
