Average 4.3 of 72 Ratings Show Topic Images summary Proximal Femur Fractures in the pediatric poplulation are rare fractures caused by high-energy trauma and are often associated with polytrauma. Diagnosis can be made with plain radiographs of the hip. Treatment is usually operative with the technique depending on the age of the patient and the Delbet classification type of fracture.

Why traction is applied to a femur fracture?Skeletal traction is most commonly used to treat fractures of the femur, or thighbone. It's also the preferred method when greater force needs to be applied to the affected area. The force is directly applied to the bone, which means more weight can be added with less risk of damaging the surrounding soft tissues.
What is a traction splint used for?A traction splint such as a Hare or Sager splint is used to reduce patient pain, secure the leg in an appropriate position and restore length to the femur (Figure 11-14). Relative contraindications to the use of traction splints include hip dislocation, fracture-dislocation of the knee, and concomitant ankle injury.
When using a Sager traction splint you should apply traction that is approximately?Sager traction splint can measure the actual traction applied on the gauge. The optimal traction is roughly 10% to 15% of a patient's body weight.
Which of the following is the most effective method of immobilizing a fractured clavicle?The most common way to treat the fractures in the middle is with immobilization with either a sling or a special bandage called a figure-of-8 splint. Studies have shown that these fractures heal just as quickly and as well with a sling as with the figure-of-8 splint, so we recommend a sling in a majority of cases.
