A 9-year-old girl sustained a proximal metadiaphyseal fracture (A), which is a challenging location for fixation with flexible nailing or plating. A hybrid external fixator using two arches was applied, as seen in these radiographs (B) and clinical photographs (C). There was uneventful healing of the fracture after removal of the external fixator (D).
