Abstract AR
كسور الفخذ شائعة الحدوث عند الاطفال بين الاعمار 4-12 سنوات.
75 % منها تصيب جسم عظم الفخذ.
علاج مثل هذه الكسور يكون اما بإجراء سحب جلدي للساق يعقبه تجبيس الحوض و الفخذ المكسور حتى القدم او اجراء العملية الجراحية.
ان الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو مقارنة نتائج علاج ثلاثين مريضا بواسطة السحب الجلدي و التجبيس مع نتائج معالجة ثلاثين مريضا بواسطه العملية الجراحية مستخدمين الوايرات المرنة.
لقد تبين من خلال مقارنة النتائج بان العملية الجراحية تعطي أفضل النتائج.
Abstract EN
Femoral fractures are common in children between (4) and (12) years of age, and (75 %) of the lesions affect the femoral shaft.
Treatment of femoral shaft fractures can be achieved either by traction followed by a plaster cast as conservative treatment or by surgical treatment.
The objective of this study is to compare the results of treatment for femoral shaft fractures in children between ages of 4-12 years using intramedullary nails (titanium elastic nails, TEN) versus traction and plaster cast.
Surgical treatment by TEN provides better clinical results in comparison with conservative treatment by traction and plaster cast.
