Postoperative results showed excellent fracture reduction, and the patient progressed well with rehabilitation. The choice of fixation method for the sagittal medial femoral condyle fracture considered the unique anatomical challenges posed by this rare combination, the emergency (fat embolism), and the fact we didn't have a retrograde nail in our structure. A dynamic compression plate was used for femoral shaft fracture and screw fixation for condyle fracture treatment. The traction table in anterograde femoral nailing, led to the recurvatum of the condylar fracture and difficulty accessing it with the medial subvastus approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case report adds a description of a rare combination and valuable insight into the management of complex femoral fractures, emphasizing the importance of individualized treatment approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.109657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,26]],"date-time":"2024-04-26T12:37:55Z","timestamp":1714135075000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A rare combination of sagittal fracture of the medial femoral condyle (Tr\u00e9lat fracture) with an ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"119","author":[{"given":"Imad","family":"Jadib","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Houssam Eddine","family":"Rachidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soufiane","family":"Abdennaji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdeljebbar","family":"Messoudi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Rafai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-16-20260422","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"142","DOI":"10.1097\/00005131-199404000-00011","article-title":"Long term results of unicondylar fractures of the femur","volume":"8","author":"Ostermann","year":"1994","journal-title":"J.
