    We have read the paper "Important tips and numbers on using the cortical step and diameter difference sign in assessing femoral rotation - Should we abandon the technique?" [1] with great interest. Restoring femoral rotation during intramedullary nailing can pose challenges to many experienced surgeons. Femur rotational side-to-side asymmetry which is greater than 10 ° will cause functional deficit. We propose a surgical technique which allows surgeons to evaluate and reduce the malrotated femur intraoperatively. This technique also improves the ergonomics of the surgery and can be used simultaneously with other femoral rotation evaluation techniques. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V.
