Background: Post-radiation fractures (PRF) are a recognised complication of radiation treatment for soft tissue sarcomas. They have a low incidence and typically occur up to 5 years following treatment, more commonly affecting the pelvis, ribs and femur. Due to radiation-induced changes in bone, PRFs typically require more complicated intervention compared to post-trauma fractures, however, limited literature exists, particularly in regards to mid-shaft femoral PRFs.

Objective: To summarize the characteristics of posterior coronal banana-shaped fragments and its research progress in treatment of intertrochanteric femoral fracture with cephalomedullary nail, provide valuable reference for clinical practice.
Methods: Relevant domestic and foreign literature was extensively reviewed to summarize the history, anatomical structure of posterior coronal banana-shaped fragments, and the need for reduction and fixation, the influence on the stability of cephalomedullary nail, and the remedies.
Results: The posterior coronal banana-shaped fragments refers to the second level fracture line of the intertrochanteric femoral fracture, involving four anatomical structures, namely, the posterior part of the greater trochanter, the intertrochanteric crest, the lesser trochanter, and the posteromedial cortex.

Introduction: Most patients with these injuries are taken to hospitals frequently for specialized orthopedic treatment. However, because quackery is a common practice in the many regions, it is common in underdeveloped nations, particularly in rural India, for these injuries to be initially overlooked. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of open intramedullary nailing in the treatment of patients with neglected bilateral fracture shaft femurs in terms of union achievement and functional outcomes.
