Bringing together the many considerations and complexities
surrounding the management pediatric femur fractures, this
up-to-date, comprehensive book discusses all aspects of these
common but challenging injuries, where the treatment strategies are
rapidly changing and which have the potential for complications and
less than ideal outcomes. Because there may be multiple acceptable
treatment approaches to a given fracture, we sought to review the
full spectrum of therapeutic modalities. The entirety of the
pediatric femur is considered, including femoral head and neck
fractures, diaphyseal, physeal and epiphyseal fractures, and
intra-articular fractures of the distal femur. Opening with
chapters on development and anatomy as well as radiological
evaluation, each fracture type-specific chapter discusses the
indications and contra-indications, advantages and disadvantages,
technical principles and published outcomes associated with each of
the accepted techniques, from casting and traction to external and
internal fixation. Concluding chapters discuss pathological
fractures and the evaluation and management of complications. By
channeling the expertise of a broad and accomplished group of
authors with extensive experience in both researching and treating
pediatric femur fractures,
