Femur fracture

The femur is not easy to fracture. Most of the fractures are femoral shaft fractures, which are mostly caused by strong violence in a car accident or caused by a fall from a height. Femoral shaft fractures often cause hemorrhagic shock. In addition, because the thigh muscles are rich, the fractures are easily displaced. Such fractures should be promptly diagnosed with an orthopaedic doctor in the hospital.
