Abstract
- A case of the comminuted fracture of the femoral shaft with osteoporosis is presented. The patient lacked sufficient bony stability and cortical bone-contact which allows union by conventional reconstruction method. Therefore, the authors performed a technique utilizing an intramedullary plate in combination with the standard lateral plate in order to obtain bony stabilization, early range of motion of the knee, and partial weight bearing ambulation and the technique is introduced.
