Malunions of the Forearm

Comparative Study between Elastic Intramedullary Nail versus Compression Plate in Fracture Both Bone Forearm in Adolescent

“…Treatment alternatives for irreducible unstable pediatric forearm fractures are closed manipulation under general anaesthesia and casting, Kirschner wire and casting, closed or mini-open reduction and intramedullary fixation, and open reduction and internal fixation with plates [7]. The intramedullary nail fixation is preferable in many circumstances to open reduction and plating of the forearm bones as it prevents stripping of the soft tissues; in addition, there is little in the way of surgical scar tissue and is therefore cosmetically acceptable [8]. This article studies the treatment for both-bone fractures in the adolescent population using intramedullary nail fixation and open reduction and internal fixation with plates.…”
