Background: The femur is the strongest and largest bone in the human body. It therefore
requires high-energy trauma for it to fracture unless there is an ongoing pathology that …

Femoral shaft fractures are common orthopaedic problems with interesting treatment
evolution based on evolving clinical evidence. Though closed reduction and locked …

Background: Fractures of the shaft of the femur are common. Injuries leading to femoral shaft
fractures are equally common. The femur presents itself to these injuries more than any …

Extremity injuries have attained a significant position in musculoskeletal trauma. This study
aims to describe the pattern of closed long bone diaphyseal fractures in acute trauma …

Background: Closed locked intramedullary nailing is largely considered the preferred
treatment option for fractures of the femoral diaphysis, owing to its associated high union …

Background: The femur is one of the principal load-bearing bones of the lower extremity.
Femur fractures are among the most common fractures encountered in orthopaedic practice …

BACKGROUND: An important cornerstone in health care delivery is the field of surgical
pathology and one of its major aims is to provide a complete, precise and comprehensive …

Aim of the study This was to compare the early outcome of closed femoral shaft fractures
treated with locked intramedullary nailing and plating at the National Orthopaedic Hospital …

Background: femoral shaft fractures are common orthopaedic problems and usually result
from high energy impact with increased risk of associated injuries. Though global trend is …
