- The case discusses a 25-year-old male who experienced a fracture in both the neck and shaft of his femur, leading to non-union, which is a challenging condition to treat.
- The treatment involved a combination of open reduction, dual plating with bone grafting for the shaft, and a valgus subtrochanteric osteotomy along with dynamic hip screw and impaction bone grafting for the neck.
- The study emphasizes the importance of biomechanical correction to promote healing, noting that this approach can lead to better outcomes in treating femur non-unions.

Introduction: Distal femur fractures are high-velocity injuries which accounts for 7-10% of all femoral fractures of which 5-10% are open fractures. Despite advances in techniques and implants, treatment remains a challenge, in many situations due to increased risk of infection, non-union and loss of range of motion. Surgical management of such complex injury includes radical debridement with stabilization followed by management of gap non-union with appropriate techniques and restores the range of motion.
