Abstract |
Management of lower limb fractures in children involves many approaches, spanning from conservative treatment to open reduction and internal fixation. A number of intermediate treatments have also been shown to be effective, notably skeletal traction. However, each of these techniques has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of complications.
In this report, we describe two new cases of chronic osteomyelitis that manifested (many years) after childhood skeletal traction. After analysing these two cases, we proposed measures that can be implemented to avoid such complications, along with a simple, appropriate, reproducible treatment approach.
