Abstract:
Ipsilateral femur shaft and neck fractures are occurred by high energy trauma, usually in motor vehicle accidents or fall from a height. Simultaneous Ipsilateral femur shaft and neck fractures and contralateral femur neck fracture are not yet reported in Korea. Authors report a case of simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures combined with a ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture in a young adult treated with anatomical reduction, internal fixation and vascularized bone graft with a review of the literature.
