Recent therapeutic advances for unstable femoral shaft fracture in children
- Keywords:
- Femoral Fractures; Surgical Procedures; Operative; Fracture Fixation; Child
- Abstract:
- Femoral shaft fracture is a common injury in children.With the rapid paces of sport activities and urbanization in recent years,its incidence is also rising.According to stability status,it may be divided into stable and unstable fractures.Stable fractures include transverse,short oblique and short spiral while unstable fractures are composed largely of long oblique,long spiral and comminuted fractures.A gold standard for treating stable femoral shaft fractures in children is elastic intramedullary nail fixation.Locking intramedullary nail,submuscular plate or external fixator is applied for skeletally mature or obese children.However,internal fixation method of unstable femoral shaft fractures in children has remained controversial.The available fixations include elastic intramedullary nail,locking intramedullary nail,submuscular plate and external fixator.This review summarized various therapeutic choices of unstable femoral fractures and elaborated upon their merits and demerits.
