Popis:	Children with fractures of the femoral shaft have been treated in our hospital for the past eight years; twenty-one children returned for our follow-up study. Fourteen of them were bodys and seven were girls and they injured between two and ten years of age and the term of one to seven years passed since their injury. Nineteen of them were treated conservatively and two operatively. Particular attention was paid to the overgrowth, alignment of femur, joint motion, gait pattern and complication of pain. Following conclusions were made:a) Shortening of about 10mm on average is an allowed extent.b) Lateral flexion angle of over 10 degrees and anterior-posterior flexion over 20 degrees should he avoided.c) Rotation must be avoided.
