BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Ipsilateral @entity174 of the hip and femoral shaft is encountered in high-energy @entity130 , and warrants special diagnostic and therapeutic considerations, which are not available in any single report. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seven hundred and twenty-two cases of concurrent, @entity174 in the hip and femoral shaft reported in 65 publications were reviewed. This high-energy injury combination was rare in @entity1 , the median age of the @entity1 being 34 years (range 3-76 years). 78% of them were @entity1 , 44% were multiply injured. Concurrent @entity173 were reported in 0.8 to 8.6% of all femoral shaft fractures. RESULTS: The @entity130 force was found to cause buckling of the femur and shearing of the femoral neck. @entity173 , divided into 5 subtypes, had the following distributions: subcapital-2%, midcervical-21%, basicervical-39%, pertrochanteric-14% and intertrochanteric-24%. The diagnosis of the @entity173 was delayed in 30% of the cases, but it healed in 99% with most operative methods with no deep @entity281 . The average rate of @entity2738 was 5.1%. Plate fixation of the shaft @entity174 was complicated by deep infection in 6.1%, by non-union in 9.8% and yielded a poor outcome in 11.0% of the cases. The respective figures for unlocked intramedullary nailing were 2.7%, 2.7% and 6.8% and for locked nailing 0%, 0% and 0%, respectively. Fixation of the @entity173 was bound with more complications (reoperations and malunions) in combination with nailing than plate fixation. CONCLUSIONS: Early diagnosis of all injuries and operative treatment of all @entity174 components are the key factors in reducing complications and improving the outcome in ipsilateral hip and shaft fractures. Locked nails and hip screws yield improved results compared with plates and unlocked nails combined with hip screws. Cephalo-medullary nails have yielded results similar to the first-generation locked nails.
