Titanium Elastic Nails Versus Spica Cast in Pediatric Femoral Shaft Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of 1012 Patients
Background: There is a general consensus on the management of femoral fractures in children younger than two years and adolescents older than sixteen years. The best treatment for patients younger than sixteen years of age is still debatable. Titanium Elastic Nails (TEN), is widely used with some evidence, nonetheless, we undertook a systematic meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of TEN comp...
متن کاملComparison of Titanium Elastic Nailing vs Hip Spica Cast in Treatment of Femoral Shaft Fractures in Children between 6-12 Years of Age
Background: Fracture treatment in children relies on rapid healing and spontaneous correction of angulated fractures; therefore most of the diaphyseal fractures can be treated by plaster alone. Operative treatment of children's fractures is often looked at critically. Aim: To compare mean duration of bone union in traction followed by Spica cast versus titanium elastic nailing for fracture shaf...
متن کاملManagement of Femoral Shaft Fractures in Children with Skeletal Traction Followed by Hip Spica Cast Versus Flexible Intramedullary Nailing
Background: The treatment of femoral shaft fractures has always been a focus of interest especially in children, but may still remain a clinical problem and a subject of controversy. Objective: To compare the post-operative outcomes of hip spica and flexible intramedullary nails in treatment of femoral shaft fractures in children. Material & Methods: Randomized controlled trial conducted for si...
متن کاملFemoral shaft fracture in children treated by early hip spica cast: early result of a prospective study.
Twenty-four children under the age of 10 years with femoral shaft fractures were treated by early immobilization of fracture and application of hip spica cast. The average hospital stay was 3.5 days. The average shortening at time of fracture union was 15 mm. The average time of follow up was 6.7 months. All fractures healed, except for one, in an acceptable position. The average shortening at ...
متن کاملTreatment of pediatric femoral shaft fractures by stainless steel and titanium elastic nail system: A randomized comparative trial
PURPOSE Literature suggests that the lower modulus of elasticity of titanium makes it ideal for use in children compared with stainless steel. Better fracture stability was observed in association with titanium nails on torsional and axial compression testing. However, stainless steel nails are stiffer than titanium counterparts, which may provide a rigid construct when fixing paediatric femora...
