Risk factors, classification, and operative choices of femur fractures at a Tertiary Hospital: first report from Somalia.

A traumatic femur fracture is a significant cause of morbidity, affecting one to three million individuals annually. The present is the first study investigated the epidemiological characteristics, risk factors, classification, mechanisms of injury, and early management of femoral fractures in Somalia.

Iatrogenic giant subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm following clavicle fracture repair: A case report.

Subclavian artery aneurysms are infrequently observed in clinical settings, and are divided into intrathoracic and extra-thoracic segments. Atherosclerosis, cystic necrosis of the tunica media, trauma, or infections are more common.
