However, segmental femoral fractures are considered to be a special injury type associated with high complication rates. Combined IMN and plate is proved to be a reliable method for treating complex tibia fractures with less operation time and high union rates. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to evaluate the outcome of following combined IMN and plate fixation for segmental femoral fractures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Between February 2013 and January 2016, 18 consecutive patients with femoral shaft fracture with AO\/OTA type 32\u2010C2 were treated via combined IMN and plate. Surgical details, operative and postoperative complications, the rate of union and time to union were evaluated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were 14 men and four women with a mean age of 37.8 years (range 27\u201352\u2009years). All patients were followed up for a minimum of 12\u2009months. Of the patients, 13 were closed fractures, three were Gustilo type I open fractures and two were Gustilo type II open fractures. All patients achieved union within 18.9 weeks (range 12\u201328\u2009weeks) and none of them had malunion. There were no deep infections, and two patients with superficial wound infections were successfully treated with antibiotics.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Combining IMN and plate fixation appears to be a reliable method for the treatment of segmental femoral shaft fractures with less operation time, high union rates and ability to maintain alignment, therefore it provides another choice for treating segmental femoral fractures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.15050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,6]],"date-time":"2019-03-06T04:31:41Z","timestamp":1551846701000},"page":"325-328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Results of combining intramedullary nailing and plate fixation for treating segmental femoral fractures"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"89","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1031-5669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hui","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery The Affiliated Southeast Hospital of Xiamen University, Orthopaedic Center of People's Liberation Army  Zhangzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery The Affiliated Southeast Hospital of Xiamen University, Orthopaedic Center of People's Liberation Army  Zhangzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dasheng","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery The Affiliated Southeast Hospital of Xiamen University, Orthopaedic Center of People's Liberation Army  Zhangzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kejian","family":"Lian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery The Affiliated Southeast Hospital of Xiamen University, Orthopaedic Center of People's Liberation Army  Zhangzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6116-0022","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deqing","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery The Affiliated Southeast Hospital of Xiamen University, Orthopaedic Center of People's Liberation Army  Zhangzhou China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-197860070-00011"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005131-200711101-00001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-199311000-00021"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199072050-00012"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","first-page":"224\u201030","article-title":"Treatment of segmental femoral shaft fractures","volume":"287","author":"Wu CC","year":"1993","journal-title":"Clin.
