Plain-language summary
The aim of this study is to compare the
* functional outcomes, fracture healing time, rate of complications, and long-term growth outcomes between intramedullary nail and plating in adolescent.
* Assess radiographic outcomes (e.g., alignment, limb length discrepancy, and growth plate disturbance).
* Evaluate complications such as infection, nonunion, malunion, refractures, and need for reoperation (e.g., hardware removal).

Inclusion Criteria:
* Age: 10-16 years (skeletally immature, based on radiographic evidence of growth plates).
* Diagnosis: Closed or open (Grade I) diaphyseal femoral fractures.
* Fracture type: Simple transverse, short oblique, or spiral fractures (classified by the AO/OTA system or by the MĆ¼ller classification).
Exclusion Criteria:
* ā¢ Fractures with significant comminution or open fractures (Grade II or III).
* Pathological fractures (e.g., secondary to bone disease).
* Severe systemic conditions that may affect bone healing or postoperative recovery (e.g., metabolic bone diseases).
* Patients with previous ipsilateral femur fractures or those requiring re-operation for non-union or malunion.
