Femoral shaft fractures are typically the result of a high-energy mechanism such as a motor vehicle accident but can also be associated with falls in the elderly. Femur fractures are often associated with other fractures or head trauma; thus, a thorough physical exam should be performed to assess for these injuries.

Ipsilateral Hip and Femoral Shaft Fractures
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1993Forty-two cases of ipsilateral hip and femoral shaft fractures are reviewed. All patients were treated operatively for both fractures, with the exception of the shaft fracture in one child. Several different methods of fixation were used. The most common method was placement of multiple pins or screws around a previously placed intramedullary rod ...

Treatment of femoral shaft nonunion
Orient Journal of Medicine, 2011Background: Even with the remarkable ability of fractures to heal by thereconstruction of the injured bone to the original form, some situations occur in which there could be delayed union or nonunion. Attending to the cause of the nonunion would usually yield a positive result.Objective: To determine the incidence of osseous union in cases of nonunion
