A 13 yrs old boy was brought to emg with history of fall from height, sustaining injury to his Lt thigh, leading to pain, swelling & deformity of Lt thigh and was unable to bear weight on his Lt lower limb.
On xray Lt femur shaft fracture was identified with a long spiral pattern.
Due to remaining growth potential and fracture pattern the decision was made to fix it with TENS nail.
Intra operatively Closed reduction with TENS nail was done and due to distraction in fracture site a mini open cerclage wiring was done for fracture.
And a thigh brace was given post operatively.
Patient was mobilised non weight bearing the next day after surgery.
