FEMORAL SHAFT FRACTURE FIXATION

A femoral shaft fracture is one of the most serious fractures because the femur is the strongest and largest bone in the body. These usually happen from high-energy trauma like vehicular accidents, falls, or sports injuries.

How do we fix it?

In most adult cases, the best treatment is surgical fixation, usually through:
✅ Intramedullary nailing (metal rod inserted inside the bone canal)
✅ With locking screws to maintain alignment and stability

Why surgery is often recommended:

✔ Restores bone alignment
✔ Provides strong internal support
✔ Allows earlier mobility and rehabilitation
✔ Reduces risks of malunion, shortening, and prolonged bed rest complications

Recovery expectations:

📌 Early movement is encouraged
📌 Physical therapy is essential
📌 Weight-bearing depends on fracture stability and X-ray healing
📌 Most patients regain function with proper rehab and follow-up

If you or someone you know has a femur fracture, early consult matters — proper fixation + rehab makes all the difference in outcome.

Successful Partial Hip Arthroplasty (PHA) for a 76-year-old male following a femoral neck fracture.

Surgery went smoothly with stable fixation and good alignment. Early mobilization and pain control achieved—now focused on rehabilitation and getting him safely back on his feet.

Femoral neck fracture facts:
• Common in elderly patients, especially those with osteoporosis
• Often caused by low-energy falls at home
• Can compromise blood supply to the femoral head, increasing the risk of avascular necrosis and non-union
• Surgical treatment is usually recommended to allow early mobilization and reduce complications
• Early surgery helps lower the risk of pneumonia, blood clots, pressure sores, and loss of independence

Timely intervention and proper surgical care play a crucial role in restoring mobility and quality of life in our senior patients.

Firecrackers cause more than burns.
They cause fractures, amputations, tendon injuries, and permanent disability.

Hands and fingers are the most commonly injured—and many victims are children or bystanders.

One second of fun can lead to multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation.
Celebrate responsibly. Protect your hands. Protect your future.

Welcome the New Year with complete limbs!
