The patient is relatively hemodynamically stable and is a candidate for early surgical stabilization of his injuries. The femoral shaft fracture is best managed acutely with definitive intramedullary nailing. The rotationally unstable pelvic ring injury should be addressed at the time of femoral fracture fixation. In this patient, it is best managed acutely by anterior external fixation. Distal femoral traction would not be optimal for either injury.
