Both bones were fractured in 32 patients, ten fractured only the radius, and three experienced ulna fracture. E...
متن کاملThe effect of canal fill on paediatric femur fractures treated with titanium elastic nails
Purpose Traditional teaching for fixation of paediatric femur fractures recommends 80% nail diameter/medullary canal diameter ratio (ND/MCD) for successful maintenance of reduction. Prior studies have investigated this with stainless steel Enders nails. Our aim was to assess the impact of ND/MCD on maintenance of reduction and malunion rates in paediatric femur fractures treated with flexible i...

Children of age less than six years can be best treated by traction followed by cast method but the conventional traction and casting method for management of pediatric femoral fractures is giving way for the operative stabilization of the fracture in children more than six years. Twenty patients in age gro...
