The standard care for most pediatric diaphyseal fractures has been conservative treatment (casting or traction). Over the past two decades, pediatric orthopedists have increasingly recognized the advantages of fixation and rapid mobilization. However the risk of complications particularly refracture after extemal fixation and a vascular necrosis after solid intramedullary nailing have prevented these methods from becoming adopted as the best surgical line of treatment
