Résumé
Femoral shaft fractures result from high-energy trauma. Despite intramedullary nailing (IMN) representing the gold standard option of treatment, external fixation (EF) can be used temporarily for damage control or definitively. The purpose of this study is to compare two different options, anterograde IMN and monoaxial EF, for the treatment of femoral shaft fractures. Between January 2005 and December 2014, patients with femoral shaft fractures operated on in two centers were retrospectively evaluated and divided into two groups: the IMN group ( Both groups were found to have no statistical differences ( IMN is the gold standard for definitive treatment of femoral shaft fractures. In patients with severe associated injuries, EF should be a good alternative.
