This study aims to assess the outcome of concomitant fixation of the ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fracture using single versus dual surgical implants.<h4>Methods</h4>A single-center retrospective analysis of patients who underwent fixation of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures was performed over a 13-year period. Different techniques were employed to fix the complex injury. Both the reduction and the union time were assessed radiographically.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 36 patients with ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures were retrospectively identified and included in the study. Twenty-four patients (66.6%) were managed with a single cephalEuropean journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie1613-1618https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10276091biostudies-literatureThe surgical outcomes of fixing ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures: single versus double implants fixation.PMC10276091Ahmed GAlborno YAbuodeh YSalameh MAbunimer AKayali HfalseThe surgical outcomes of fixing ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures: single versus double implants fixation.<h4>Background</h4>Combined ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are rare and present a challenging management dilemma.
