Objective: to evaluate epidemiological and radiological characteristics of the femoral shaft fractures, surgically treated from 1990 to 2005 at Hospital de Acidentados - Clínica Santa Isabel - in Goiânia, Goiás, aiming to contribute to better preventive and therapeutic measures planning to adopt on those fractures.
