A A case of a 34-year-old man who suffered from right femoral shaft fracture after motor vehicle accident. B Iatrogenic fracture comminution over medial cortex which extended distally was noticed after surgery of open reduction and internal fixation. C At 14 months postoperatively, the fragment of iatrogenic comminution healed. However, the main fracture site remained nonunion. D The proximal locking screw was removed for dynamization at 17 months postoperatively. Partial union was noticed 6 months after dynamization
