Mexico0Started 2020-01-04

Plain-language summary

Femoral pediatric shaft fractures are a common orthopedic injury. Conservative treatment is still the preferred method by orthopedic surgeons. The walking spica cast is used in patients between 1 year old and 6 years old, in patients with isolated and low-energy fractures. The use of synthetic materials is preferred (fiber glass) for resistance, durability and low weight makes them optimal.
