Functional Outcome Of Flexible Nailing Fixation In Shaft Femur Fractures In Children’s
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
BACKGROUD- femoral shaft fracture common in children, conservative treatment like spica cast and other method are more problematic n uncomfortable due to prolong immobilization, the children especially to near the end growth where accurate reduction necessary, mal-union no longer accepted by corrective growth. So in our study evaluate functional outcome of double flexible (Tens/ enders) nailing in shaft fracture of femur. MATERIAL AND METHOD- our study is retrospective where we had been evaluated functional outcome in shaft femur fractures fixation by flexible (Tens/ enders) nailing . 44 children between 6 to 15 years of age were selected for the study, partial weight bearing was allowed after 6th week of postoperatively and full weight bearing after clinico-radiological union RESULTS- Final results were evaluated by using the Flynn’s scoring criteria. This system based on leg length inequality, malalignment, pain and minor and major complications. After all possible evaluation 26 (60 %) patients had excellent, 13 (30 %) satisfactory and 5(10 %) poor functional results. knee stiffness and mild infection at entry point was seen in some cases. No limb length disparity or deformity was found. CONCLUSION- Compare to other treatment method available it has excellent to good functional and surgical outcome in respect to complication like malunion, limb length discrepancy and functional recovery much than other treatment methods.
