Cable ties are primarily used in electric or industrial wrap to facilitate in self-locking fastening. hey provide good strength and easiness to lock objects. No report has shown the use of cable ties in orthopedic treatments. This report presents a case of closed, displaced comminuted and oblique fracture of femoral shaft. The cable ties were used for temporary fixation of the fracture fragments prior to an application of plate fixation. They provided the good stability and practicality maintained the reduction without employing other kinds of fixation tools. Therefore they consumed minimal time for temporary fixation. After the operation, no infection was detected. In addition, normal bone healing was shown in x-rays findings.
