Introduction: One of the most common types of fractures seen in orthopedic treatment is a crack or break in the shaft of the femur. In individuals who have sustained high intensity trauma, a fracture of the shaft of the femur is a major source of morbidity and mortality. Materials and methods: There were 20 people total who participated in the study. This study was a prospective research study that took place in Department of Orthopedics, Government Medical College, Ongole, Andhra Pradesh, India. There are roughly 8 men for every female. The time frame for the research was from May 2021 to April 2022. Results: The survey involved 20 people, with men making up 72% and women 28%. At least 88% of the population is under the age of 50. The majority of femur fractures occurred in the middle onethird of the thigh, and car accidents were the most prevalent cause of injury. Within 24 hours of injury, 76% of patients were seen. Fractures in most patients healed completely between 12-14 weeks clinically, and within 16-18 weeks radiologically. After 10 weeks, patients could begin light weight bearing, and by 16 weeks, they could handle their whole-body weight. Conclusion: In the fracture of the shaft of the femur that we saw, interlocking nailing had a very low complication rate and produced great results in terms of the patient's ability to function.
