[Indications for osteosynthesis in fractures in children]. 1978

L Jani

Surgical treatment for fractures in childhood should be rare. Indications for open reduction and internal fixation is given especially in fractures within the joint region, which includes namely epiphyseal fractures, dislocated joint fractures (patella, olecranon, femoral neck, radial head, flake fractures) and dislocated ligament injuries. The same is true in children's fractures with accompanied vascular- or nerve-injuries and in multiple fractures, multiple injuries and open fractures grade III. A very relative indication to osteosynthesis is given in severe axial deviations which can not be corrected conservatively. In given in severe axial deviations which can not be corrected conservatively. In the last group the indication depends on the age of the child, localization of the fracture and the mainly displaced plane, but also depends on whether the department in question is experienced in and can fully exploid the conservative possibilities of closed reduction and stabilization.
