Abstract
To compare mean duration of bone union in traction followed by spica cast versus titanium elastic nailing (TEN) for fracture shaft of femur in children of age 6-12 years.

As regard to the age of patients, male (31) were have mean age of 8.84 and Standard deviation was 2.035, similarly female (29) were have mean age of 8.97 and Standard deviation was 2.009. As regard to the outcomes group 1 with spica Casting were have mean duration 8.77 weeks and Standard deviation was 1.88. Similarly in-group 2 Titanium Elastic Nailing were have Mean of 11.99 weeks and Standard deviation was 20.303. After applying T-test P value calculated as P=.012 which is a valid value.
