Femoral shaft fractures are not only significant injuries in their own right but also often a marker for multiple, serious injuries elsewhere. The treatment in adults is usually surgical. The results are for the most part good, but are dependent on the degree of injury to the local soft tissues and on the presence or absence of other distant injuries.

Key Words: classification • controversies • femoral diaphyseal fracture • treatment
