The femur is a long bone that extends from the hip to the knee. At its proximal end is the head, neck, greater and lesser trochanters, at the distal end a metaphyseal flare to the medial and lateral condyles. The femoral diaphysis (shaft) is bowed anteriorly. The femur is a tubular bone, which gives it strength to withstand axial loading; this enables

Complicated Femoral Shaft Fractures
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2002The treatment of femoral shaft fractures has become safe and reproducible since the advent of popularization of intramedullary nailing, however, many femoral shaft fractures are complicated by associated fractures, extensive comminution, extensive contamination, and arterial injury compartmental syndrome.

Bilateral Femoral Shaft Fractures
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1963Dr. C. B. Sledge: A 49-year-old physician was brought to an outlying hospital by police 10 min after he was involved in an automobile accident. Initial examination revealed a semiconscious patient whose blood pressure was 132/80 mm Hg. His pulse rate was 100 beats per min, and his respiration rate was 22 per min. There was no evidence of gross external

Femoral shaft fractures (FSF) occur in young adults following high-energy trauma. They may present with other life-threatening associated injuries. Their initial management should be carried out according to ATLS guidelines. In contrast, in the elderly population, these fractures result following trivial injuries due to the underlying bone fragility ...

Femoral shaft fractures are not only significant injuries in their own right but also often a marker for multiple, serious injuries elsewhere. The treatment in adults is usually surgical. The results are for the most part good, but are dependent on the degree of injury to the local soft tissues and on the presence or absence of other distant injuries.

A femoral shaft fracture is a fracture of the femur diaphysis, which is located between two horizontal lines running proximally through the middle of the trochanter minor and distally 5 cm proximally of the tuberculum adductorium [16].

Femoral shaft nonunions are a clinical and surgical challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. Despite advances in surgical technique, fracture fixation alternatives, and adjuncts to healing, femoral shaft nonunions continue to be a significant clinical problem. A successful outcome is frequently time consuming, and requires utilization of a large number of

Fractures of the shaft of the femur including the subtrochanteric and the supracondylar regions account for 1.6% of all fractures in children. The boy-to-girl ratio is 2.3:1, a ratio which may change in the future as girls participate in contact sports like soccer.
