N2  - From 1976 through 1985, a total of 1096 children, 0-15 years of age, was treated for fractures in Kuopio University Central Hospital. 131 patients had a femoral shaft fracture and 114 of them, including 82 boys and 32 girls, were studied. The incidence of femoral shaft fracture was 2.16 per 10,000 inhabitants 0-15 years of age. Environmental factors and the ability to move in traffic appeared to be the most important risk factors for femoral shaft fracture.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
