Orthopedic doctors may use a variety of treatment approaches for femur shaft fractures depending on the severity and location of the fracture. Immobilization is typically the first step in treatment and may involve the use of a cast or brace to hold the bone in place while it heals. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to realign the bone and hold it in place with pins, screws, or plates. This is often necessary for fractures that are displaced or require more stability. Rehabilitation is also an important part of treatment, as it helps patients regain strength and range of motion in the affected leg.
