 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Modified closed Kirschner treatment of pediatric femoral shaft fractures Analysis of 58 Cases Author: Wang Qi Li Jianya ZHENG Zhi-gang Ma Chang-sheng [Abstract] Objective To study the re-closure of femoral shaft fracture fixation needle treatment methods and clinical efficacy. Methods from March 2003 to September 2006 58 cases of pediatric femoral shaft fractures in children to take C-arm needle guidance downward closed re-fixation. Results 58 patients for an average of 22 months follow-up, all access to bone healing, healing time an average of 7 weeks. Shimoji full load time of 5-15 weeks with an average of 7 weeks. According to Flynn [1] proposed treatment of femoral fractures with intramedullary nail rating criteria, 58 patients in this group of children with all of the excellent treatment results, there is no delay in fracture healing, fixation failure and postoperative infections. Conclusions appropriate and reasonable use of closed needle fixation of pediatric femoral shaft fractures, safe, minimally invasive, simple operation, trauma, less bleeding, faster healing, less complications and worth promoting. [Keywords:] Femoral Fractures Minimally invasive needle Children Pediatric femoral shaft fractures, one of the more common fractures, accounting for 1.6% of children’s fractures, the traditional treatment methods are mainly Manipulation splints, cast immobilization, traction therapy, opening up the entire complex within a fixed, but is the best treatment is still point of contention. [2] in our hospital from March 2003 to September 2006, 58 children with femoral shaft fractures in children to take C-arm needle guidance downward closed re-fixation achieved good results, we have decided as follows: A clinical data The group of 58 patients, male, 39, female, 19 cases. Ages 1 to 8 years, an average of 5.6 years. 27 cases of car accident injuries, riding a bike falls in 14 cases, height of fall injuries in 16 cases. 56 cases of cl
