Subtrochanteric fractures in children are rare events, occur in only 4% of all femur fractures, most injuries occur as a result of high energy trauma, being young males patient the most affected. The management of this type of injury is controversial, there are many forms of treatment, including the use of plaster spica 90-90, closed reduction and use of elastic or rigid intramedullary nails, open reduction and plate placement and external fixators. Most suggest that children under 10 should be preferred non-operative and for older than 12 surgical management is indicated, but the discussion is between 6 and 12 years old. Through this article we present the treatment of such entity with a proximal fracture plate using a minimally invasive technique. |
