Supports elastic nailing in children over seven; hypothesis-generating without randomized data versus conservative treatment.
Does stable elastic intramedullary nailing improve functional recovery and fracture union compared to conservative treatment in children with femur fractures?
Stable elastic intramedullary nailing is an efficient technique for treating femur fractures in children over seven years old, offering rapid functional recovery without the need for a cast.
J.-P. Métaizeau (2004) studied this question.
