Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the results of osteosynthesis treatment of femoral shaft fractures in children at Viet Duc hospital. Method of cross-sectional descriptive study on 66 patients with closed femoral shaft fractures operated from January 2019 to May 2021. All patients were post-operative re-examined: infection, post-op femur axis according to Larson and Bostman scale (1980) and bone healing on x-ray after 6 months, assessment of range of motion of hip and knee joints. Evaluation after surgery, 100% of patients had no infectious complications, good limb axis accounted for 97%, good hip and knee range of motion accounted for 100%, bone healing accounted for 98%. Femoral osteosynthesis treatment in pediatric patients is a safe method with good results and low complication rate.
