title: [Surgical treatment for femoral shaft fracture in children and adolescents with multiple trauma].
abstract: Results of surgical treatment for 13 femoral shaft fractures in 12 children and adolescents with multitrauma have been presented. In 12 cases plate has been used, in one case Kuntcher nail was employed. Age of the patient at the trauma was 3 years 4 months on an average. There was no infection in postoperative period. The fracture healed after 8 weeks on an average. Anatomical reduction has been achieved in all cases. Some physical activity limitation (not related to the treatment) has been found in two patients. Surgical treatment for femoral shaft fracture in children and adolescents with multitrauma rendered good results.
