Abstract
This video discusses treatment of pediatric femur fractures using 90-90 traction, followed by delayed spica casting. This study details the treatment of a 2-year-old girl with a subtrochanteric femur fracture featuring a 4-cm acute shortening and severe malalignment. The patient was placed in 90-90 traction in the operative setting. When adequate callous was observed radiographically, the patient was treated with a spica cast in the hospital on day 16. She was noted to have obtained uneventful healing of the fracture with no functional deficits, as detailed during serial office visits.
