Abstract

The experience in treatment of 54 children with diaphyseal femur fractures by closed antegrade intramedullar osteosynthesis is presented The possibility of realization of closed intramedullar osteosynthesis excluding proximal femur growth zone damage is experimentally grounded. It is defined that echography provides all necessary information and allows to limit the irradiation load on the patients and medical staff. Original set of instruments for closed intramedullar osteosynthesis is suggested; recommendations on implant choice depending on the child’s age are given. The method is shown to provide a good anatomic functional result in overwhelming majority of children with diaphyseal femur fractures and to give 2.3-3 times decrease of the duration of inpatient treatment and rehabilitation period as compared with conservative treatment.
