title: [Treatment strategy for posttraumatic complex deformity. After bilateral femoral shaft fractures].
abstract: A case of complex posttraumatic deformity after bilateral femoral shaft fractures is reported. Different possibilities for correction in cases of valgus malalignment combined with internal rotation deformity as well as shortening combined with external rotation deformity are presented. Oblique osteotomy and a motorized femoral extension nail were used.
