    1. ISOLATED FEMUR FRACTURES IN AOLESCENTS: COMPARISON OF 4 OPERATIVE METHODS

    2. INTRODUCTION Optimal treatment of adolescent femur fractures remains undetermined: - Flexible nails - External fixator - Rigid intramedullary nails - Plate osteosynthesis

    3. METHODS Retrospective cohort study Included: - Isolated traumatic diaphyseal femur fractures - Age 11-18 Excluded: - Polytrauma - Pathologic fractures

    4. METHODS Patient characterized: - Age - Gender - Weight - Mechanism and energy of injury - Fracture level, pattern and comminution - Method of fixation

    5. METHODS Method of fixation: - Flexible intramedullary nails n= 78 - External fixator n= 17 - Ridig intramedullary nail n= 25 - Plate osteoynthesis n= 12
