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

Interprosthetic fracture of the femoral shaft
The Journal of Arthroplasty, 1998Experience in the management of a complication of ipsilateral hip and knee arthroplasty is described. The cases of four female patients who sustained a femoral shaft fracture after ipsilateral hip and knee arthroplasty are reported. All fractures were treated operatively, and in all cases internal fixation devices failed.

Comminuted Femoral Shaft Fractures
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1987Comminuted 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 (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 ...

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].

Fractures of the femoral shaft
Surgery (Oxford), 2007Abstract 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 ...

Fractures of the femoral shaft
The American Journal of Surgery, 1934Abstract 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 ...

Fatigue Fracture of the Femoral Shaft
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1969Thirty-eight fatigue fractures of the femoral shaft in thirty-five patients are reported on and analyzed. All but one occurred in young men undergoing the first eight weeks of basic military training. The other case was that of a seventeen-year-old youth, who was training for track.
