Abstract: Children are vulnerable to injury apart from their developing motor skills, great curiosity leads them to Dangers Often that they have not understood or which they do not Realize. Femoral Fracture is one of the musculoskeletal injury involving the lower extremity with high disability rates throughout the world. The characteristic of femoral shaft fractures in Indonesia is still variable especially in Bali, and only a few conduct research on this. The study aims to Determine the characteristic of femur fractures in children at Sanglah General Hospital in Denpasar Bali and conducted with a cross-sectional study on 40 samples of femur fracture of children at Sanglah General Hospital in Denpasar Bali from January 2017 to December 2017 using the secondary of data from the patient's medical record. From 40 samples Showed that the majority of sex is a male within 28 people (70%), from the age group most ages 11-years of skeletal maturation were 26 people (65%). About 36 cases (90%) were closed fracture with right side involvement of extremity for 24 cases (57.5%). High energy injury of femoral fractures in children aged less than 11 years was treated conservatively for 10 cases (100%) and 25 cases (100%) treated operatively in age 11 years until skeletal maturity. This research pointed out that age ie characteristic femoral fracture, fracture configuration and mechanism of injury are very important to justify the treatment. High energy injury of femoral fractures in children aged less than 11 years was treated conservatively for 10 cases (100%) and 25 cases (100%) treated operatively in age 11 years until skeletal maturity.
