Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing for Fractures in Children - Principles, Indications, Surgical Technique

چکیده
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 that resists deformation.

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 plast...
