Review Question - QID 5600

An 18-year-old patient sustains a comminuted left femoral fracture starting 6.5cm distal to the lesser trochanter. He undergoes antegrade femoral nailing in the supine position on a radiolucent table. Upon completion of proximal and distal interlocking, both patellae are positioned facing the ceiling and a lateral radiographs confirms that the posterior condyles of both limbs are aligned.
