The treatment options depend on the age of child the site of the fracture the pattern of injury and the surgeon s preference. We report a case of an 11-year old boy who sustained a comminuted displaced supracondylar fracture of the femur and was treated with indirect reduction and internal fixation with the Less Invasive Stabilization System LISS tibial plate. Background Paediatric supracondylar fractures of the femur are uncommon. There are different modalities of treatment depending on the age of child the site and the fracture pattern. The use of traction hip spicas in young children external fixators flexible intramedullary nails or even plating had been reported but each had its own limitations. The Less Invasive Stabilization System LISS Synthes combines minimally invasive internal fixation with fixed-angle screws. To our knowledge there has been no report about fixation of paediatric distal femur fractures with a LISS tibial plate. We report a case of an 11-year old boy who suffered from a displaced comminuted supracondylar fracture of the femur and was treated with close reduction and internal fixation with a LISS tibial plate. Case Presentation An 11-year old boy sustained a fall during a soccer game. He landed on his right knee and complained of severe right leg pain and swelling after the injury. There was no associated injury. Physical examination showed deformity with swelling over the right distal thigh. There was tenderness over the distal femur. There was no neurovascular deficit. X-ray of the right Correspondence .
