Treatment selection in pediatric femoral shaft fractures

Abstract

Both conservative and surgical techniques are widely used in the treatment of femoral shaft fractures in children. In our study immediate spica-cast application for 0-2 ages, 90/90 skeletal traction (average 16.7 days) +Spica-cast application (average 7.2 weeks) for 2-10 ages, surgical treatment for above 10 age and fractures with associated injuries were used. Excellent and good result in 92% of cases, poor results in %8 of cases were obtained. Age groups and associated injuries affect the treatment selection.
