Treatment of pediatric diaphyseal femoral fractures with intramedullary fixation

Femoral fractures are found in the daily practice of pediatric orthopedic traumatologists. This is related to the specificity of the child’s skeletal system, different biology and methods used to treat these injuries. Diaphyseal femoral fractures account for approximately 3% of all long bone fractures in children and adolescents. They usually occur as a result of high energy injuries. This type of damage to the musculoskeletal system is a consequence of traffic accidents, falls from a height and practicing sports, including extreme sports. The treatment of femoral fractures during the development period depends on the type of injury, child’s age and weight, associated injuries, and the experience and preferences of the treating physician. At present, it is assumed that in children over 5 years of age it is advisable to apply a minimally invasive surgical procedure. The fixation method should be simple and effectively stabilize the fracture. Currently, the use of titanium elastic nails (TENs) is standard in pediatric traumatology.
