Summary

We performed a randomized control trial including 84 children aged two to six years who presented with femoral fractures. They were randomized into two groups; the first was managed by single limb cast fixation (42 patients), and the second was managed by double limb cast fixation (42 patients). The primary outcomes were postprocedural functional outcomes and parents' satisfaction, while the secondary outcomes were the rates of complications.
