The femur is the longest and strongest bone of the body, and it carries the weight of the entire body. It is the heaviest tubular bone of the body that requires high-energy force to fracture, for example, as from motor vehicle accidents. Fracture of the femur carries high-risk complications like hemorrhage, fat embolism, and infection. Inappropriate management of femur fracture can also cause prolonged morbidity with shortening, misalignment, and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The annual incidence of midshaft femur fracture is approximately 10 per 100,000 person-years. The incidence of femoral diaphyseal fractures follows a bimodal distribution that peaks in young adults and the elderly, secondary to high-energy mechanisms in the young and low-energy falls in the elderly with decreased bone density. Emergency medical service (EMS) personnel should immobilize the femur to prevent ...
