Abstract

The ipsilateral femoral segmental and tibial fractures seldom occur such as traffic accidents needed high energy mechanisms. For these fractures, surgical stabilization and early mobilization of joint produce can be the best clinical outcomes. We have experienced a case of ipsilateral femoral segmental and tibial fracture and gained good clinical results with surgical treatment. We have reported here on this case and included a review of the relevant literature.
Key words: Femoral segmental fracture, Tibial fracture, Ipsilateral fracture

Fig. 1

(A) Initial radiographs of a 51 year-old man show femoral segmental and patellar fractures on the right side.

(B) Initial radiographs show ipsilateral tibial plateau fracture.

Fig. 2

Immediate postoperative radiographs show the retrograde nailing of femur (A), plate fixation of tibia (B) and tension band wiring of patella (C).

Fig. 3

At 6 months follow up, photographs show nearly full range of motion (A, B).

Fig. 4

One year follow up radiographs show complete union of femur (A), tibia (B) and patella (C).
