open access: possibleTrauma, 2003
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.

Femoral shaft fracture

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2006
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

Comminuted Femoral Shaft Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1987
Comminuted femoral shaft fractures are often grouped with more simple femoral fractures for study. Although union always occurs, shortening and angulation can result from closed treatment using traction and cast bracing. Operative intervention using locked intramedullary nails can lead to a consistently excellent outcome when the performance of the ...

Femoral Shaft Fractures

2020
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 ...
