Treatment of unstable forearm fractures at the metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction in children: antegrade esin vs. transepiphyseal intramedullary k-wire fixation

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: This study reports results after antegrade ESIN (a-ESIN) compared to transepiphyseal intramedullary K-wire (TIK) for unstable MDJ forearm fractures. This study describes sufficient stability, and no secondary displacement occurred even though the majority of patients was postoperatively treated without additional immobilization. Even though this study showed good results, it has some limitations to mention: The patient cohort is quite small, the study is of a retrospective design, and no standardized or randomized treatment protocol was used.
• Who: Jörg Fuchs et al. from the Department of Pediatric Surgery and Pediatric Urology, University . . .
