ABSTRACT
The use of external fixators as an alternative treatment for femur fractures in pediatric age patients is proposed. Twenty four patients were treated in an age range from 6 to 15 years old. They had good results in 21 patients with a health fracture grade 3 and final angulation between 0 to 5 grades. In two of them a refracture occurred and it was attributed to a premature remove of the fixator.
