Aim

The purpose of this study was to quantify the number of children treated with ESIN (elastic stable intra-medullary nails) at our institution and to determine what proportion of these nails have been removed and the time and difficulty taken to do so.

Methods

Patients treated with ESIN between 2000 and 2005 were identified by database search. Their notes were reviewed to record patient and initial nailing details, and timing, difficulty and length of metalwork removal procedures. Complications leading to premature removal or following nail extraction were noted.
