• Provides randomized-level evidence directly comparing antegrade and retrograde femoral nailing, a decision made routinely in trauma practice. • Highlights a real trade-off: antegrade nailing may unite faster but carries more thigh pain, while retrograde nailing is associated with a higher dynamization rate and slower union, partly tied to nail-canal fit. • Reinforces that final union rates are high and comparable with either technique, supporting selection based on fracture pattern, associated injuries, and patient positioning rather than a presumed superiority of one approach.
