ASSESSING THE TREATMENT OF CLOSED FEMORAL FRACTURES IN CHILDREN USING FLEXIBLE NAILS UNDER IMAGE INTENSIFIER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Femoral shaft fractures are an incapacitating pediatric injury accounting for 1.6% of all pediatric bony injuries. Management of these fractures is largely directed by age, fracture pattern, associated injuries, built of the child and socioeconomic status of the family. Objectives: To evaluate the results of surgical treatment for femoral fractures closed by Metaizeau nailing technique. Materials and methods: Retrospective research in 54 cases. Children aged 6 to 15 years old at Pediatric orthopedic department at Trauma and Orthopedic Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, from 01/2019 to 12/2021. Results: Bone healing was found among 100% of cases, general results were excellent at 62,9%, sactifactory results of 37,1%, no poor results, mean length of leg was of 8,4 mm after operation, functional knee and hip achieved good results. Conclusions: Osteosynthesis by Metaizeau nails was a good alternative method for treatment of close femoral shaft fracture in children.
