Abstrakt		Until recently long bone fractures in children have been treated only conservatively. Developement of new surgical procedures has brought changes in this field, too. The French au- thors Prevot, Lascombes, Metaizeau and others have introduced treatment of femoral fractures using elastic stable intramedullary fixation. Following very good results after treatment of femoral fractures using special precurved titanium nails, the procedure is now used for treatment of other long bone fractures, too. This method is cheap, safe and easy to perform and nowadays represents the standard for the fixa- tion of the femoral fractures in children. We shouldn't forget that the majority of fractures in children are treated conservatively.
