Diaphyseal femoral fracture in children \<6 years old are treated by the skin traction technique. As demonstrated by numerous studies, given the significant potential for bone remodeling in young children, remodeling (excluding rotational disorder) allows anatomical correction. The aim of this study is to confirm, via EOS imaging, the absence of residual deformities 3 years after the end of treatment in children treated in Amiens hospital department.
