Abstract
We studied 43 patients with ipsilateral femoral shaft and femoral neck fractures who had dynamic hip screw fixation alone or in combincation with dynamic compression plate. All patients except two were diagnosed early; 37 patients had other associated injuries. There were 41 males and two females. The follow-up ranged from eight months to four years (mean 2-1/2 years). Six patients were lost to follow-up. Fracture of the neck of the femur healed in all 37 patients. Four patients had delayed union and two patients developed nonunion of the shaft of the femur. The aim of this paper is to show our experience and results using one technique for the treatment of such fractures.
