Abstract :

AIM:To study the results of proximal femoral nailing of ipsilateral neck and shaft femur fractures to study the clinical results in term of activity of daily living, radiological union and to see any complication at full follow up. METHODOLOGY: We have done a retrospective study of ipsilateral neck and shaft femur fracture treated with proximal femoral nail with follow up on 1,2, 4, 6 and 12 month by clinically and radiologically. CONCLUSION:Ipsilateral neck and shaft femur fractures are generally associated with slightly higher failure rates. The reasons for this include the greater intrinsic instability of the fractures, demanding more stabilization; more difficult fracture reduction because there are two different fractures that are to be addressed simultaneously. Proximal Femoral Nail provides conducive environment which allows early mobilization,and lessens the complications due to the bed ridden state,decrease the time in returning to work, decreased blood loss and surgical time
