description Proximal femoral cephalomedullary nailing is one of the treatments of choice for intertrochanteric fracture. Zimmer Natural Nail® (ZNN; Zimmer) is one of the alternatives. We report two cases of broken tail portion of the ZNN lag screw during the removal procedure. This may be the first reported cases in scientific literature with this pattern of failure. We report these cases to highlight one of the possible problems that could occur during removal of this implant which can possibly prolong the operation time significantly if the required device is not prepared.
