dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Femoral shaft fractures in adults are high-energy fractures typically accompanied by additional fractures of the upper and lower extremities and brain, thoracic, or abdominal injuries. Intramedullary nailing enables early ambulation with a few complications, but rates of non-union remain high. Therefore, we aimed to compare bone union after femoral shaft fractures in adults (20–65 years old) depending on the injury severity and presence of multiple fractures. Patients and methods: This study retrospectively examined 178 patients (145 male and 33 female) who underwent intramedullary nailing for a femoral shaft fracture (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopedic Trauma Association 32 type) between January 2014 and December 2018 and were followed up for at least 1 year. Patients who underwent intramedullary nailing after the preliminary application of an external fixator were excluded. Patients were divided into groups with isolated femoral shaft fractures (IS group), an injury severity score of ≤14, and multiple fractures of the extremities and the pelvic bone (at least three locations), including a femoral shaft fracture (MU group), and severely injured (injury severity score ≥15) with femoral shaft fractures (SE group). Non-union rate by group and risk factors related to bone union and bone union rate according to time to full weight bearing were analyzed. Results: In total, 29, 54, and 95 patients were assigned to the IS group, MU group, and SE group, respectively. Non-union was observed in two patients in the IS group (6.9%), six patients in the MU group (11.1%), and 11 patients in the SE group (11.6%). There were no significant differences in the bone union rate, according to multiple fractures (p=0.515) and injury severity score (p=0.561). Additionally, no differences in the bone union rate were observed according to the time to full weight bearing. Depending on open fracture (p=0.004) and fracture severity (p=0.011), the non-union rate showed a difference of up to four times or greater. Conclusions: When intramedullary nailing is performed to treat femoral shaft fractures, multiple fractures and severe trauma do not directly affect bone union. However, it should be noted that open fracture and greater fracture severity lead to higher chances of non-union.-
