Abstract
We wish to highlight osteomyelitis occurring in two children after open reduction and plating of closed femur fractures. To the best of our knowledge, osteomyelitis following open
reduction and plating of paediatric femur fractures has not
been widely reported in the literature. To minimise the risk of developing osteomyelitis, we plead for minimally invasive surgery when treating paediatric femur fractures.
