Abstract The Cast-Brace application had been done in 12 patients with 13 fractures of the femur between 1975-1976 in the Departments of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology of Gülhane Militaray Medical Academy and Ankara Mevki Hospital. The technique of the Cast-Brace application was described. The results and the complications were discussed and the Cast-Brace application was suggested in adult femoral fractures in following situations:\n1. Open femoral fractures,\n2.
