Femoral fractures should be splinted using a Thomas splint with traction or one of its variants. External fixation should be avoided where possible, although it may be necessary when there is significant loss of bone length or associated vascular injury. For low-energy injuries, intramedullary nailing is effective and it may be considered as a delayed definitive procedure. The possibility of pelvic or abdominal penetration must he excluded. [Pg.129]

Anterior fractures include the anterior wall and anterior column and they are often associated with other pelvic fractures. They are the result of a lateral blow to the greater trochanter when the leg is externally rotated. This is a relatively uncommon injury and typically causes minimal displacement, so surgical fixation is not usually required. [Pg.187]
