Percutaneous K-wire fixation for femoral shaft fractures in children.
From November 2001 to January 2004, sixty-five children with femoral shaft fractures were treated by closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation. The aims of the treatment were early mobilisation, easy nursing care and rapid rehabilitation. Kirschner wires were introduced under image-intensifier control from the distal or proximal metaphyseal region of the femur, avoiding injury to the ph...
متن کاملExternal fixation or flexible intramedullary nailing for femoral shaft fractures in children. A prospective, randomised study.
We report the outcome of 19 children aged 5.2 to 13.2 years with 20 fractures of the femoral shaft requiring surgery, who were randomly assigned to have external fixation (EF) or flexible intramedullary nailing (FIN) (10 fractures each). The duration of the operation averaged 56 minutes for the EF group with 1.4 minutes of fluoroscopy, compared with 74 minutes and 2.6 minutes, respectively, for...

Femoral shaft fractures represent approximately 1.6% of all bony injuries in children. There is a first peak in early childhood and a second one in midadolescence. Although femoral shaft fractures are disabling injuries, most heal rapidly without significant complications. Traction and casting were standard treatment up to a few years ago. Duration of hospitalisation was high. Recently however,...
متن کاملTreatment of femoral shaft fractures with monoaxial external fixation in polytrauma patients
Background: Femoral shaft fractures, typical in younger people, are often associated with polytrauma followed by traumatic shock. In these situations, despite intramedullary nailing being the treatment of choice, external fixation could be used as the definitive treatment. The aim of this study is to report evidence regarding definitive treatment of femoral shaft fractures with monoaxial extern...
متن کاملFractures of the femoral shaft in children.
A series of 133 fractures of the shaft of the femur in children (during the first 12 years) is discussed. The injury is much more common in boys. The highest incidence is in 3-year-old children. A gentle reduction is desirable and anaesthesia is rarely necessary. In the age group under consideration i in. of shortening in reduction is desirable; angulation should be avoided. Initial immobilizat...
