Abstract
Double segmental femur shaft fractures are rare and are challenging in terms of closed reduction and intramedullary nailing. These fractures are further complicated by non-union and malalignment. Here, we present two such cases with a technical note, pre- and postoperative radiographs, perioperative illustrations and the successful management of non-union (in one case).
