摘要
The authors conducted a retrospective review of 60 children under the age of 16 years with femoral shaft fractures treated with compression plate fixation. All patients were followed to hardware removal. The 100% union rate and low complication rate after compression plate fixation of pediatric femur fractures compared favorably to the literature of other treatment options. Compression plate fixation is a safe and effective treatment in children with both isolated femoral shaft fractures and those associated with multiple injuries.
