Objectives : To know prevalence of Femoral Fractures in paediatric age groups, to classify fracture type, mode of injury, course of healing and to evaluate the result of low cost-least invasive Ender抯 Nail Fixation in Paediatric patients in developing country. Materials and Methods : It is prospective study with 15 patients of 6-15 years age group with Femur Diaphyseal Fracture were treated with retrograde Ender抯 Nail in our Orthopaedic Department with minimum 6 months follow up.
