Abstract
Femoral fractures are indubitably common injuries that can occur either from high-energy trauma in young patients or due to fragility in the geriatric population. Femoral fractures affecting two or more regions of the femur are exceedingly infrequent injuries, ordinarily caused by high-energy trauma and are considered segmental femoral fractures. We present a rare case of a 33-year-old male patient presented to our Emergency Department with multiple femoral fractures at the subtrochanteric, diaphyseal and supracondylar femoral regions, a condition regarded as double segmental femoral fracture. After assiduous consideration of treatment options, intramedullary nailing was employed for osteosynthesis. Fracture reduction was laborious, as an entirely separated femoral fragment was present between the fracture lines. The reaming process required paramount attentiveness as the middle femoral fragment was prone to rotational displacement by the reamer. Finally, the intramedullary nail was successfully placed, and the patient was discharged without complications after 11 days of hospitalization. Currently, the patient is capable of full weight-bearing without crutches. This paper underlines the challenges that double-segmental femoral fractures' treatment can bring on to the orthopedic surgeon.
