Although the femur or thigh-bone is known to be very sturdy as the longest bone in the body, it is still subject to fractures caused by heavy weights and forces. An car accident is a major cause for femur fractures where the femoral shaft is broken.

Possible Femoral Shaft Fractures in Personal Injury Cases 

The femur bone could break at any point along its length. It could be a simple displacement, an open or closed fracture. Your doctor would classify the fracture according to:

• its location – distal, middle, proximal
• its pattern – length-wise, cross-wise, middle
• its tear on the skin and muscle

Femoral shaft fractures include:

• Transverse fracture which is a horizontal line crack along the shaft
• Oblique fracture which is an angled line across the femur shaft
• Spiral fracture which are stripes encircling the shaft
• Comminuted fracture where the femur is broken in several places
• Open fracture where the bone fragments stick out of the skin

Such femur fractures are usually caused by a high-energy collision that brought on a high force such as:

• An auto accident
• Falls from heights
• Gunshots
• Very weak bones

An intense pain sears through the body with a femoral shaft fracture that prevents you from putting any weight on the leg which may look deformed.

Femoral shaft fractures could be rectified with or without surgery. Surgery options are costly with higher risks which patients need to consider possible complications.
