BACKGROUND Management of displaced fracture shaft of femur and tibia in children between 3-13 yrs. is still a grey area. Although, conservative treatment provides excellent remodeling ability of immature bone in children, parents are often not happy with immediate post reduction x-ray result. Hence, present study was undertaken to evaluate clinically and radiologically displaced fracture shaft of femur and tibia after reduction by elastic nail in children.
