Overview

Diaphyseal femoral fracture in children \<6 years old are treated by the skin traction technique. As demonstrated by numerous studies, given the significant potential for bone remodeling in young children, remodeling (excluding rotational disorder) allows anatomical correction. The aim of this study is to confirm, via EOS imaging, the absence of residual deformities 3 years after the end of treatment in children treated in Amiens hospital department.

Interventions

  • Other EOS imaging
    EOS imaging 3 years after skin traction treatment for femoral shaft fracture.

Primary outcome measures

  • absence of lower limb overgrowth [Time frame: 3 years]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
  • Measurement of the angle on the lower limb sagittal axis [Time frame: 3 years]
  • Measurement of the angle on the lower limb on the frontal axis [Time frame: 3 years]
  • Measurement of the angle on the lower limb on the frontal axis [Time frame: 3 years]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • <6 years old at the time of the fracture
  • treatment by skin zenith traction
  • femoral shaft fracture, traumatic, unilateral

Exclusion criteria

  • Multiple fracture
  • pathological fracture
  • history of lower limb fracture
  • contraindication to zenith traction

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
