- Abstract: Injury of the femoral artery with a femoral intertrochanteric fracture is rare, and usually occurs on the deep femoral artery during surgery. We experienced a case of preoperative injury of the superficial femoral artery by a lesser trochanteric fragment. We repaired the femoral artery through an anterior approach before internal fixation.
