Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing for Fractures in Children – Specific Applications

چکیده
Elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) is a new minimally invasive technique for the treatment of pediatric fractures. It approximates the physiological healing process of bone, without opening the fracture site. Also, the operative stress is minimal because of the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, and the volume of implants is small, offering a very good stability without plaster cast immobilization.

Background: Femoral shaft fractures are an incapacitating pediatric injury accounting for 1.6% of all pediatric bonyinjuries. Management of these fractures is largely directed by age, fracture pattern, associated injuries, built of the childand socioeconomic status of the family. We retrospectively evaluated the use of elastic stable intramedullary nail (ESIN)in surgical management of femoral s...
متن کاملRole of elastic stable intramedullary nail in the surgical management of diaphyseal fracture femur in children
Introduction: Femoral shaft fractures account for 1.6% of all paediatric injuries. In children 5 years or younger, early closed reduction and application of spica cast is an ideal treatment for most diaphyseal fracture. Elastic stable intramedullary nailing of long bone fractures in the skeletally immature has gained widespread popularity because of its clinical effectiveness and low risk of co...

Several techniques are available for the treatment of displaced fractures of the neck of the radius in children. We report our experience in 14 children treated by indirect reduction and fixation using an elastic stable intramedullary nail. The patients were followed up for a mean of 28 months. One developed asymptomatic avascular necrosis. The rest had excellent results. One had a neuropraxia ...
متن کاملElastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing for Fractures in Children - Principles, Indications, Surgical Technique
Elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) is a minimally invasive technique. According to this technique, two elastic nails are introduced through the metaphysis into the medullary canal, advanced through the fracture site and impacted into the opposite metaphysis. These nails are preformed in a C-shaped manner, which allows for their precise orientation and the creation of an elastic system...
متن کاملParticular Applications of Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (esin) for Femoral Fractures in Children
Over the past few years there has been a marked increase in the use of intramedullary fixation in the management of fractures of long bones in children. To some extend this reflects a more interventionist attitude among pediatric orthopedic surgeons but is also due to technical developments, notably that of the elastic stable intramedullary nail (ESIN). We used ESIN for several years for treati...
