Five patients developed a deep infection (62.5%).We observed 10 non-union (53%) in 19 patients treated with osteosynthesis. Overall amputation rate of the entire series was 18%. Authors propose a flowchart of treatment for femoral fractures. Intramedullary nailing is the treatment of choice in postradiation diaphyseal fractures of long bones, prosthetic replacement in meta-epiphyseal fracture site. Free vascularized grafts remain a valid salvage solution after failure of internal fixation.

The MHT criteria are based on penetrating trauma observations in military scenarios; the need for surgery in blunt trauma patients remains questionable. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of blunt trauma patients with MHT who required surgery. Patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) with traumatic haemothorax or pneumothorax, heart and lung injuries, and thoracic blood vessel injuries from Jan 1, 2014, to Dec 31, 2018, were reviewed. The inclusion criterion was a chest tube drainage amount that met the MHT criteria. Therapeutic operations were defined as those involving surgical haemostasis; otherwise, operations were considered non-therapeutic. The non-therapeutic operation group included the patients who received nonoperative management. The characteristics of the therapeutic and non-therapeutic operation groups were compared. Forty-four patients were enroled in the study. Six patients received conservative treatment and were discharged une
