Thirteen cases of concomitant trochanteric and shaft fracture of the same femur are reported. The hip fracture was initially missed in two cases. Osteosynthesis of both fractures was performed in ten cases. Both fractures healed in the 12 cases followed for 6 months or more. Osteosynthesis of both fractures is recommended, preferably by fixation with angled or straight plates, and Ender nailing in selected cases.
