Intramedullary nails (IMNs) are the most frequent surgical fixation method for femur fractures. Although IMNs provide good healing outcomes and low complication rates, concerns persist regarding potential complications such as malunion, nonunion, infections. This multicenter retrospective study aims to assess epidemiology of diaphyseal femoral Data from 91 patients who underwent IMN at two Brazilian hospitals between 2020 2024 were analyzed, with a mean age 33.3 years (SD ± 12.7) 76.9%% male patients.
