Abstract
Ipsilateral hip and femur fractures are uncommon injuries. Failure to recognize the femoral neck fracture can lead to difficult complications. With proper and prompt treatment, the end results have been very satisfactory. On the basis of experience with 12 cases, the recommended treatment consists of a closed intramedullary fixation of the shaft fracture followed by ASIF cancellous screw fixation of the neck fracture.Entities:
