Fig 5.

(A) Lateral fluoroscopic view of a left leg showing placement of the second K-wire. The starting point (asterisks) is obtained on a perfect lateral fluoroscopic view while using an army/navy retractor (white arrow) to assess perpendicular placement of this K-wire with the long axis of the femoral shaft (white line). (B) Intraoperative photograph of a left leg with patient positioned supine with head of the patient on the right side of the figure toward the chevron demonstrating the starting point (asterisks) for the second K-wire using an army/navy retractor (white arrow) to assess perpendicular placement with the long axis of the femoral shaft (white line).
