Abstract

The case reports unusual ipsilateral fracture of the femur, i.e. intertrochanteric fracture, diaphyseal fracture, intra-articular fracture of the distal femur and cominuted fracture of the patella. The fracture of the femur was successfully treated by the long gamma nail and angled condylar plate, the fracture of the patella by tension wiring.
