Description

  • Traditionally, pediatric femoral fracture treatment favored conservative methods.
  • Surgical intervention was deferred until age 6, as non-operative approaches often resulted in complications.
  • Titanium elastic nailing (TENS) emerged as an effective treatment for diaphyseal femoral fractures in ages 6 to 16. However, the choice between TENS and stainless steel elastic nailing (SSENS) remains debated due to inconsistent findings.
