Treatment of femur fractures in children with cerebral palsy
Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, 08/17/09
Leet AI et al. – The study results suggest that femur fractures in children with cerebral palsy can be treated non–operatively; however, because of the high risk of malunion in this patient population, fracture alignment needs to be followed closely during healing. Careful attention during casting is necessary to prevent pressure sores. Strong consideration should be given to initial operative treatment in ambulatory patients in order to preserve function.
