Materials and Methods: A sum total of 50 patients were selected for the study. 21 patients had surgery on left femoral bone and 29 patients on right femoral bone. 29 patients were males and 21 patients were females. The demographic variables of the patients were recorded. The recorded data included age, sex, date of admission, type of admission (elective versus emergency) and classification of fractures. Results: The mean age of the patients was 41.23+18.32 years. Table 1 shows demographic data of three patients.
