Abstract:
While there is some evidence to suggest that early fixation of the fractured femur( ＜ 24 hours)may be associated with improved outcome, the lack of comparablestudy populations leaves this question largely unanswered. Prospective and/orrandomized studies that control for injury severity are needed to answer the question of optimal timing for fixation of the femur.
