Fractures of the femoral shaft

The American Journal of Surgery, 1934
Abstract All fractures of the femoral shaft admitted to the Denver General Hospital, as well as those encountered in private practice since 1928, were reviewed and arbitrarily divided into four classes according to the age of the patient. From this study, the most satisfactory mode of care is reported for each group; namely, infants were benefited ...

Fractures of the femoral shaft

Surgery (Oxford), 2007
Abstract Fractures of the femoral shaft are associated with high-energy, multisystem trauma. Management must be methodical, initially excluding life-threatening injuries. Patients surviving for the first 24 hours after major injury as a result of effective resuscitation remain at risk of progressive organ failure and death from a local and general ...

Diagnosis and Management of Ipsilateral Femoral Neck and Shaft Fractures.

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2018
Ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures typically occur as a result of high-energy trauma in young adults. Up to 9% of femoral shaft fractures will have an associated femoral neck fracture. Awareness of this association and the use of a protocolized

Complicated Femoral Shaft Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2002
The 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.

Retrograde Nailing of the Femoral Shaft

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 1999
Retrograde intramedullary nailing of fractures of the femoral shaft with use of a distal intercondylar intra-articular entry portal is a relatively new surgical technique. This method of nailing represents a modification of the previously described procedure in which an extra-articular entry portal in the medial femoral condyle was used.

Fractures of the Femoral Shaft

Surgery (Oxford), 2003
Abstract Femoral shaft fractures are normally caused by a high-energy impact and may be associated with multiple trauma. They are relatively common injuries. The management comprises two distinct stages: • initial treatment of the patient • definitive treatment of the femoral shaft fracture.

Femoral Shaft Nonunions

2017
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

Bilateral Femoral Shaft Fractures

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1963
Dr. 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

Malunions of the Femoral Shaft

2020
The operative management with intramedullary fixation has revolutionized treatment of femoral shaft fractures; however, malunions can still occur. The etiology of femoral shaft malunion is multifactorial, but contributing variables include patient factors such as obesity and noncompliance; fracture personality, such as comminution, bilateral femur ...
