Three cases of gas gangrene were reported in this paper. Gas gangrene developed in two after open fracture in the lower limb and the OTHER one after closed femoral fracture in the patient with severe diabetes mellitus. The latter is thought to be rare and only one case has been reported in the literature. All the patients were in toxic stage when they were referred to us. Therefore, disarticulation of the hip was done in all the case with combination therapies of antitoxic serum and antibiotics, which resulted in a good recovery.
