Sponsor's own description
Spica casting is the current standard of care when treating pediatric diaphyseal femur fractures in the 0-5 year age group. A study conducted by Kramer et al. suggests there are both clinical and financial benefits of functional bracing when compared to spica casting. To this date there have been no prospective trials to evaluate these two treatment options. The investigators plan to conduct a multi-center randomized-control trial that will compare the subjective, objective and financial aspects of functional bracing and spica casting for pediatric femur fractures.
