Failure accurately to determine distal femoral screw hole position can sometimes prolong operating time for placing an interlocking Grosse-Kempf rod. The described technique allows the distal femoral screw holes to be localized accurately with minimal radiation exposure. This technique utilizes readily available instruments and is not technically demanding.
