description Hardware breakage during orthopaedic surgery especially closed intramedullary nailing is a nightmare for orthopaedic surgeons. During hip fracture surgery a mechanical failure of the guidewire or the reamer poses an additional risk of intrapelvic migration and neurovascular or visceral injury which can lead to devastating complications and litigation. We report a case of removal of the broken guidewire using a cannulated reamer & discectomy forceps and recommend some suggestions for prevention of this catastrophe.
