Abstract

Introduction

Pediatric femoral fracture including supracondylar and subtrochantric fracture constitutes 1.6% of all pediatrics fractures¹. Elastic nails remain the standard treatment of choice in mid shaft transverse femoral fracture in children weighting less than 45kg². But in subtrochantric and spiral femoral fracture, failure rate of TENS nails are quite high³.

Material and methods

We retrospectively reviewed 30 subtrochantric fracture in children (average age 9 years) treated with bridge plate by mini invasive approach.

Result

All fracture united well in average 14 weeks. Single complication was 5mm limb lengthening due to fixation in traction on fracture table in one case. We strongly recommend bridge plate in complex femoral fracture in children.
