Objectives:
To identify the characteristics of patients and femur fractures treated with a stainless steel intramedullary nail (ESIN) in children under 15 years of age. Know the results of using the ESIN of related steel in the service.
Methods:
Retrospective study with review of hospital records and organization of data in spreadsheets.
Result:
24 cases were identified, 17 male cases and 7 female cases. A minimum age of 4 years and a maximum of 11 years were observed (average of 7 years). The 3 most common trauma mechanisms were being run over (n:8, 33%) and falling from a height (n:8, 3%). The most common location of the fractures was in the mid-diaphyseal region (n: 20, 88%), only one case presented a bilateral femur fracture. The most common associated trauma was traumatic brain injury. The observation period observed several months between 2 and 5. With regard to complications, 3 cases were observed (12.5%) being bursitis, vicious construction and loss of reduction.
Conclusion:
Steel HIF shows similar good results. As the study includes the retrospective profile, the absence of a group and the small sample size.
