Elastic stable intramedullary nailing for fractures in children – principles, indications, surgical technique
Abstract
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, are 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.
