What is the best treatment for broken femur?

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: Doctors says my 2 year old son has a spiralled dislocated fracture, and told us that they would do skin traction method to align the broken bones.
However my son is unable to keep still, and the bones do not seem to be in line in the x-rays.
It has been exactly 2 weeks today and there has been no progress. I am extremely worried and do not know if his leg is going to be ok or not.
I understand from my web research that spica casting should have been done, but doctors told me they dont do it in my country.

Condition analysis:
I don't know what country that you are currently living, but you may want to try and get a second opinion from another orthopedic surgeon. Since I have no way of personally evaluating your son, reviewing those x-rays, knowing the exact location on the femur, etc., so I really cannot offer any patient-specific opinion.

Pediatric femur fractures can be very challenging to properly treat, especially in a two year old, so continue to be your son's advocate and insist that another orthopedist take a look at him.
