description Intramedullary Nailing is a standard procedure for fixation of various fractures in orthopedic practice. With the procedure also important is being aware of the complications and methods of managing them. A broken or stuck hardware can result in these procedures. We present a case with broken guide wire in a case of femoral shaft fracture in a young individual and the technique we used to retrieve it retrogradely from the fracture site. This technique shall be a useful technique to all the orthopedic surgeons if such a situation arises.
