The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of closed
isolated fractures of the femoral shaft in children, and to compare
the treatment and length of stay (LOS) between major trauma centres
(MTCs) and trauma units (TUs) in England. National data were obtained from the Trauma and Audit Research
Network for all isolated, closed fractures of the femoral shaft
in children from birth to 15 years of age, between 2012 and 2015.
Age, gender, the season in which the fracture occurred, non-accidental
injury, the mechanism of injury, hospital trauma status, LOS and
type of treatment were recorded.Aims
