Intramedullary Nailing of Diaphyseal Femur Fractures
Diaphyseal femur fractures (fractures of the femoral shaft) necessitate surgical fixation for several reasons. Surgical fixation allows patients with these injuries to mobilize more quickly after surgical fixation. Surgical treatment also decreases the risks of prolonged recumbency, including fat emboli syndrome, decubitus ulcers, and muscle atrophy.
