Fracture of Collum Femoris Secondary to Gunshot Wound: A Lucky Patient Who Didn’t Have Any Additional Injury
Journal Title: European Archives of Medical Research - Year 2020, Vol 36, Issue 1
Abstract
Gunshot injuries are rising in most countries in the last decades. Gun shot wounds in extremities result complicated bone fractures and related complications like infection, nonunion, malunion. Also, vascular and nerve injuries result from gunshot wounds. We report the case report of a 32-years male who underwent gunshot to the proximal femur. He had only nondeplase collum femoris fracture which was treated succesfully without any complication. We think that it is a big chance for patient having this progress in this severe trauma.
