Spiral fracture: This type of fracture is caused by a twisting force. The result is a spiral-shaped fracture line about the bone, like a staircase. Spiral fractures can be displaced or stable, depending on how much force causes the fracture.
The most common causes of femur fracture are: 1  High-speed trauma, such as a motor vehicle or motorcycle accident, a fall from a high place, or an injury during extreme or contact sports. 2  A preexisting bone disease that weakens the bone, such as a tumor, Paget disease, bone cysts, or osteoporosis.
