N2  - Background Pediatric femoral shaft fractures are common orthopaedic injuries. Conservative management with early spica casting or traction followedby spica casting is considered the standard treatment. Recently, light have been thrown on internal fixation especially elastic stable intra-medullary nailing (ESIN). Studies were done to assess the efficacy and safety of ESIN, but few compared its results with conservative management.  Patients and Methods Between May 2013 and January 2014, a randomized controlled study was conducted on 33 patients with unilateral pediatric femoral shaft fractures. The subjects were divided into 2 groups; a group managed with TEN, the other was treated conservatively. In the TEN group there was 17 patients, with a mean age of 7.5 years (4-15). In the conservative group we treated 16 patients. Their mean age was 7.7 years (4-12)
