Femur fractures are common in paediatric population and femoral shaft fractures have an incidense of 1.4-1.7% of all paediatric fractures. These are often seen in boys rather than girls. Most of the fractures are transverse, non-comminuted and closed [1]. The mechanism of the femoral shaft fracture for older children is associated with high-energy transmission such as traffic accidents. Combine...
