Innovative Method of Traction in a Bilateral Diaphyseal Femur Fracture in a Polytrauma Below-Knee Amputee
While diaphyseal femoral shaft fractures are common, it is uncommon to see this injury in leg amputees. Traditionally, these fractures are internally fixed using a fracture table with reduction obtained by traction and adequate rotation exerted on a slightly abducted extremity. Special consideration...
