Abstract

Flexible intramedullary fixation is an excellent technique for the stabilization of pediatric diaphyseal femurfractures when an indication for operative repair exists. They can be applied in an antegrade and a retrograde manner and can be used to stabilize fractures from the subtrochanteric region of the proximal femur to a point approximately 4 cm proximal to the distal femoral growth plate.
