About

This study evaluates the clinical ease of use of the Femoral Antegrade Starting Tool (FAST).

Full description

The investigators will recruit 10 patients at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre that are scheduled to receive femoral antegrade intramedullary nailing to treat a femur fracture. This study evaluates the clinical ease of use of the Femoral Antegrade Starting Tool (FAST) device, and the surgical workflow during entry point selection and guidewire alignment for intramedullary nailing of femoral fractures. It is hypothesized that the usage of the tool will reduce surgery time and number of images required.
