title: [Internal fixation of juvenile fracture (author's transl)].
abstract: There is a great difference in the internal fixation of infant and adult fractures. Biological and anatomical pecularities in childhood make it possible for lingitudinal growth to be impaired by the implanted material, its size, its topographic relationship to the growth organ and the duration of implantation. Internal fixation in children should therefore be limited to a few cases and should not be undertaken. Without excellent operative techniques and special aseptic operating rooms. Various ASIF techniques, such as Kirschner wiring, screwing, and fixation with plates, are suitable. Medullary nailing (Küntscher) should not be used in children.
