Fracture 1/3 middle (L) femur

Pelvic X-ray24th June 2013Within normal

limit

Resume•A 16 years old boy came with closed fracture 1/3 middle of the left femur.

•From the physical examination vital sign is normal and at the left femur there are deformity, swelling, hematoma, tenderness.

•ROM is limited and NVD is normal •X-Ray examination is confirm the fracture•Laboratorium findings within normal limit

Diagnosis

Closed fracture 1/3 middle of the left femur

Management

• IVFD RL• Analgesic• Skin traction• Plan for ORIF

Introduction• A fracture is a break in the structural continuity

of bone• A femoral shaft fracture is a fracture of the

femoral diaphysis occurring between 5 cm distal to the lesser trochanter and 5 cm proximal to the adductor tubercle.

• Fracture patterns are clues to the type of force that produced the break.

Principles of Fracture

• Classification of Fracture– Open versus closed– Level of fracture : proximal, middle, distal third– Fracture pattern : transverse, spiral, or oblique– Comminuted, segmental, or butterfly fragment– Shortening, angulation or rotation deformity

• Fractures result from– Injury– Repetitive stress– Pathological fracture

Mechanism of Injury

Solomon Louis, Warwick David, Nayagam Selvadurai : Apley’s System of Orthopaedics and Fractures 9th Edition

PATHOLOGY ANATOMY• Fracture displacement often follows a

predictable pattern dictated by the pull of muscles attached to each fragments.– In proximal shaft fracture the proximal fragment is

flexed, abducted and externally rotated because of gluteus medius and iliopsoas pull, the distal fragment is frequently adducted.

– In mid-shaft fracture the proximal fragment is again flexed and externally rotated but abduction is less marked.

– In lower third fractures the proximal fragments is adducted and the distal fragment is tilted by gastrocnemius pull.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION• Inspection: deformity, sweling, haematoma.• Present with tenderness• Decreased range of motion at the hip or knee,

depending on the location of the fracture– Hip :

• Flexion 120-135° • Extend 20-30 °• Abduct 40-50 °• Adduct 20-30 °• Internal rotate 30 °• External rotate 50 °

• NVD evaluation

- Knee :•Flexion : 125 - 135 °•Extend : 5 - 15 °

TREATMENT• Nonoperative

– Skin Traction– Skeletal traction– Casting – Splint

• Operative– Intramedullary Nailing– External Fixation– Plate and Screw Fixation

COMPLICATION

Early Late• Shock• Vascular injury• Nerve Injury• Fat embolism• Thromboembolism• Infection

• Non union or delayed union

• Malunion• Joint stiffness• Refracture and

implant failure
