Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: In past there were different opinions and controversies about operative treatment of paediatric femoral fractures. There has been a resurgence worldwide for operative fixation and now with availability of elastic nail (titanium or steel), improvement in technique, availability of low cost of treatment shorter hospital stay, imaging and fewer complications, and better nursing care, early mobilization & early return to school, elastic nails is becoming choice of treatment in children of age group 5-14. A prospective study of 16 paediatric femur fractures was done which were treated with elastic nails (steel or titanium in age group of 5 -14 yrs and patients were evaluated according to Flynn criteria in which 15 cases showed good to excellent results.
