Applying pressure in order to halt the bleeding must be our initial action. A femur fracture could be examined by the nurse on the patient.

A common message given by nurses is that each person's distal femur fracture is unique. When the nurse examines the bone, it may shatter transversely down its length or it may split into several fragments. The surface of the bone can get divided into a few (or many) pieces by these femur fractures, which can occasionally extend into the knee joint. The term "intra-articular femur fractures" refers to these kinds of fractures. It may be more challenging to treat intra-articular fractures since they harm the bone's cartilage surface, according to the nurses.
