Purpose of Study:

To review the outcome of paediatric patients with radius and ulna fractures treated with titanium elastic nails.

Description of methods:

Paediatric patients with radius and ulna fractures who fulfilled the criteria for TENS nailing were used. The criteria included failed closed reduction, instability (>15°angulation, >5°rotation) and open fractures. The patients were treated with retrograde TENS nailing of the radius and ulna. The patients were followed up at a paediatric orthopaedic outpatient clinic at 1, 3, 6 and 12 weeks with a final visit at 6 months. Data was collected at every visit looking at range of motion (pronation and supination), clinical and radiological signs of union and complications.
