A common treatment for pediatric femur fractures is intramedullary nail (IMN) insertion. Elastic stable intramedullary nails (ESINs) are often used for these procedures in heavier patients, but the potential for complications and malunion is greater.

The purpose of this study was to compare the recovery and complications for patients treated with ESINs to those treated with the ALFN.
