Unusual Foreign Body (Bone) In An Open Fracture Of The Femur- A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Loss of bone following open fractures is common. Most often bone is lost on the road side and become unusable. The gap so formed also becomes a problem during management.We present a case report of a patient who had an open femur fracture with bony fragments embedded in the soft tissue of thigh and another patient with type III C fracture of the distal 1/3 of the right femur with bone loss and vascular injury. Both patients had history of RTA between collision of two 2wheelers resulting in these two victims with open injuries
