Pin site infection was common in the external fixator group. In the submuscular plating group, radiographic union was detected at an average time of 10 weeks. In the external fixator group, the fixator was removed at an average of 12.2 weeks. Results: Age of the patients ranged from 6 to 11 (average: 7.45) years in the external fixator group and from 7 to 12 (average: 9.08) years in the submuscular plating group. The average follow-up period was 2 (range: 1.5 to 4) years.


The patients were evaluated for mechanism of injury, knee ROM, length of hospital stay, clinical and radiological findings and complications. Twenty patients comprised the external fixation group and 26 patients the submuscular bridge plating group. Patients and Method: Two groups of patients treated by external fixator or submuscular plating due to femoral diaphyseal spiral and comminuted fractures were included in our study. Although external fixation and submuscular plating have been extensively used in the management of pediatric femur fractures, there are few studies which have compared the results of external fixation and submuscular bridge plating in pediatric closed unstable spiral femoral diaphyseal fractures. Objective: The treatment of femoral diaphyseal fractures in children 6 to 12 years of age has changed substantially over the last two decades and continues to evolve.

I-RECs have been available in Turkey for multiple years now and the I-REC Standard Foundation is looking forward to further contribute to the development of a robust REC scheme in Turkey by sharing its experience and expertise. In addition, the perspective of electricity generators and electiricty traders towards REC schemes will be given by the respective associations. The webinar elaborates upon a proposed renewable energy certificate (REC) scheme for Turkey and the effects of such a scheme on electricity markets. Please note that the presentation from the I-REC Standard will be the only English-spoken presentation. The Managing Director of the International REC Standard Foundation (I-REC Standard Foundation), Jared Braslawsky, will be speaking on a Turkish-spoken webinar that will be held on July 27th, 03:30 PM Istanbul.
