Abstract
Thirteen cases of concomitant trochanteric and shaft fracture of the same femur are reported. The hip fracture was initially missed in two cases. Os-teosynthesis of both fractures was performed in ten cases. Both fractures healed in the 12 cases followed for 6 months or more. Osteosynthesis of both fractures is recommended, preferably by fixation with angled or straight plates, and Ender nailing in selected cases.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
