BACKGROUND According to WHO, It has been reported that there has been a rise in road traffic accidents globally due to many factors. Consequently this has contributed to an increase in fracture of the femur in hospitals. The annual incidence of these Fractures has been estimated to be 10 per 100,000 persons and this incidence has been noticed to be higher among the youths decreasing after the age of 40 and then increasing in the elderly. These fractures are either managed conservatively or operatively. OBJECTIVE the aim of this study was to determine if there is a significant difference in knee joint functional outcome in patients with femur shaft fractures managed operatively and conservatively at Ndola Teaching Hospital at the orthopedics clinic and physiotherapy. This in future might help to place emphasis on government to sensitize the right measures needed to improve on the functional outcome of a knee joint in patients with femur fracture who are treated operatively or conservatively METHODS the method used for the study was a complete enumeration of all patients with femur fractures that were admitted at orthopedic ward, visited the orthopedic clinic and physiotherapy sessions at NTH between the period of July 2019 to September 2019. Data collected will be analyzed using a statistical data software called Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS). The independent variable that will be considered in the study are age, DOI, DOA, femur shaft fractures, treatment and others that that will meet the selection Criteria. The dependent variable will be “Knee Joint Functional Outcome”. RESULTS Results did not show statistically significant difference in knee functional outcome for two methods (conservative or operative). In the current study it was noted that there was much reduction in swelling in the operative in comparison to the conservative group. We may therefore conclude that the operative management promises a better outcome especially when done on time. However it seemed the operative procedure was not preferred for any conservative approach however the study has shown an in depth feasibility study to affirm such findings in order to inform on policy or management paradigim shift. CONCLUSIONS There is need for further intervention in the management of femur fracture which complicates to poor knee joint function

Abstract Background The purpose of this population-based registry study was to analyze both birth-related femur and humerus shaft fractures and diagnosed later in infancy, as regards incidence, perinatal characteristics, other diagnoses, and reported accidents. Methods Children born in 1997–2014, diagnosed with a femur or humerus shaft fracture before age 1 year, were identified in the Swedish Health Registries. Rate of birth fractures were estimated by combining femur and humerus shaft fractures coded as birth-related with femur and humerus shaft fractures diagnosed during day 1–7 without registered trauma or abuse. Incidence was computed by comparing infants with femur or humerus shaft fractures to the total at-risk population. Results The incidence for birth-related femur shaft fractures was 0.024 per 1000 children (n = 45) and that for birth-related humerus shaft fractures was 0.101 per 1000 children (n = 188). The incidence was 0.154 per 1000 children for later femur shaft fractures (n = 287) and 0.073 per 1000 children for later humerus shaft fractures (n = 142). Birth-related femur shaft fracture was associated with shoulder dystocia, cesarean, multiple birth, breech, preterm, and small-for-gestational age, while humerus shaft fracture was associated with maternal obesity, dystocic labor, shoulder dystocia, vacuum-assisted delivery, male sex, multiple birth, breech, preterm, large-for-gestational age, birth weight > 4000 g, and injury of brachial plexus. A bone fragility diagnosis was recorded in 5% of those with birth-related or later femur shaft fractures. Among infants with birth-related humerus shaft fractures, 1% had a bone fragility diagnosis; the figure for later fractures was 6%. Maltreatment diagnosis was associated with later fractures of both types, especially among those aged < 6 months, where approximately 20% (femur) and 14% (humerus) of cases, respectively, were associated with abuse. Fall accidents were reported in 73 and 56% among those with later femur and humerus shaft fractures, respectively. Conclusion This study provides data on epidemiology, birth, parental characteristics, and reported accidents in relation to femur and humerus shaft fractures during infancy. Few children had a bone fragility diagnosis. Fall accidents were the main contributor to femur or humerus shaft fracture during infancy; however, the proportion of fractures attributed to maltreatment was high in children under 6 months.
