Management of Closed Diaphyseal Displaced Leg Fractures in Children and Adolescents

Most displaced tibial shaft fractures in pediatric patients have traditionally been treated after reduction by cast immobilization with good long-term results. Recently, there has been a growing trend towards surgical intervention by osteosynthesis from the outset. This study aims to describe the results of orthopedic treatment and osteosynthesis from the outset.
