9.4% of the patients sustaining cranio-cerebral injury also suffer from femoral fractures. Only those patients who undergo operation and internal fixation during the first week either by nailing or plating recover completely without any orthopedic disability. Conservative treatment or late orthopedic surgical intervention almost always resulted in permanent locomotor disability. It is concluded that early surgical intervention by either nailing or plating of femoral fractures helps in nursing, prevents deformity and leads to the complete recovery of these fractures in patients suffering from concomitant cranio-cerebral injuries.
