Ender nailing was used in two comminuted femoral shaft fractures. The fractures were classified according to Aoyagi's classification. The first case was a 77 year-old female with a comminuted fracture of Aoyagi's type III. Five months after surgery, the fracture was healed with external rotatory deformity. The second case was 23-year-old female with a comminuted fracture of Aoyagi's type V.
Three months after surgery, the fracture was healed with 1.3cm shortening. The patients were allowed early weight-bearing and early mobilization. Therefore Ender nailing is a suitable treatment for these fractures.
