Double segmental femur fracture: Two case reports with a technical note and perioperative illustration

International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences · 2020 · Vol. 6(2) · pp. 618–621

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).
