TL;DR: There are disadvantages in Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing of forearm-shaft fractures, such as the need of implant removal, and satisfactory implant stability among older children needs to be studied.

TL;DR: Although plates and nailing have comparable clinical outcomes and complication rates, flexible intramedullary nailing has the advantage of smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, shorter operative and hospital times and an ease in hardware removal.

Elastic stable intramedullary nailing for treatment of pediatric forearm fractures: A 15-year single centre retrospective study of 173 cases.
TL;DR: ESIN for treatment of forearm fractures in children shows good functional and cosmetic results, and surgical stabilization of the forearm fracture using ESIN is recommended in children and adolescents.
Pediatric forearm fractures with special reference to operatively treated shaft fractures and ulnar styloid process nonunion
TL;DR: The new surgical method, biodegradable intramedullary nailing (BIN), with ESIN was compared and the congruence between the new computer-assisted measuring method and handheld goniometer/dynamometer was aimed to be researched, as well as the rate and long-term morbidity of USP nonunion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is there a standard treatment for displaced pediatric diametaphyseal forearm fractures?: A STROBE-compliant retrospective study.
TL;DR: Based on experience K-wire fixation including intramedullar positioning of at least one pin seems to be favorable compared with ESIN, and management with MUA/POP only is associated with an increased refracture rate.

Epidemiology of children's fractures
TL;DR: The results from an epidemiologic study in Malmö indicate that a child's risk of sustaining a fracture is 42% in boys and 27% in girls from birth to age 16 years, and that preventive measures have been effective in decreasing severe accidents.

Elastic stable intramedullary nailing in forearm shaft fractures in children: 85 cases.
TL;DR: E elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) is recommended in the treatment of displaced forearm fractures in children older than 10 years of age, and in younger children when conservative treatment fails.

Use and abuse of flexible intramedullary nailing in children and adolescents.
TL;DR: The good results of this reliable technique are obtained when surgeons have a good knowledge of it, especially in the understanding of the principle of the correction of the fracture and its stability.

Eleven years experience in the operative management of pediatric forearm fractures.
TL;DR: The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Forearm Fracture Fixation Outcome Classification was developed and found that older children had poorer outcomes and higher rates of delayed union and poor/fair outcome of IMN increased with age.
