Risk factors for refracture of the femoral shaft in children after removal of external fixation
Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2021 Background External fixation is the primary treatment option in children for femoral shaft fractures, such as open femoral or multiple fractures. One complication is refracture, which is the biggest limitation of fixation devices.

Minimally invasive dual plating of a complex femoral fracture; a case report
Trauma Case Reports, 2023 Complex femur fractures are defined as combined fractures of shaft and proximal or the distal femur. It usually occurs in young adults due to high energy trauma. Treatment of this type of fracture is challenging.
