Treatment of pediatric femoral fractures in the city of zagreb

In conclusion, nearly half of all femur fractures (49.1%) occurred at a young age (0-4 years). Diaphysis fractures were most common. Most of the fractures that occurred during the 2010-2015 period were treated with operative methods, mostly in children aged 5-9 years. Out of eight different operative methods, elastic stable intramedullary osteosynthesis was most frequently used (60%). Coxofemoral immobilization and traction were used as non-operative methods.PMID:34285439 | PMC:PMC8253082 | DOI:10.20471/acc.2020.59.04.15
