Stainless steel flexible intramedullary nailing in pediatric femoral shaft fractures-A retrospective study

Femoral fractures in children are among the most common fractures of long bones. Various methods of treatment exist based on age of the patient, pattern of the fracture and acceptance of the patient and par-ents. Flexible intramedullary nailing has emerged as an accepted pro-cedure for femur fractures in school- age children. In this study our aim is to share our experience of stainless steel flexible intramedullary nail-ing as a treatment modality in femur shaft fractures in children from age 6 to 11 years.
