Abstract
The most frequent fractures in children are those to the forearm. While the intramedullary Titanium Elastic Nail System (TENS) and rigid plate fixation have significantly improved outcomes in teenagers, successful care in preadolescent patients is frequently conservative. Nevertheless, there are currently no objective standards to determine when teens can use TENS. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the skeletal age limits of TENS in teenagers by comparing the modified Sauvegrain et al. method for skeletal age scoring versus chronological age in order to predict treatment outcomes in adolescents treated with TENS for a forearm fracture. Our prospective study was conducted from March‐October 2019‐2022 (2 years 8 months) at Rampurhat Government Medical College and Hospital, Birbhum, West Bengal and cases were followed up for at least 12 months. In our studies, we had treated 36 adolescent patients and followed for at least for 1 year by serial x‐rays and clinical examination. Age distribution from 12‐18 year age. Mean age 14.5 year, Sex distribution Male‐24, female‐12. Sex ratio:2:1, Laterality Right 23 (63.89%) Left 13 (36.11%). Type of reduction for fracture fixation Closed reduction 25 cases, Open reduction of ulna 9 cases, open reduction of both radius and ulna in two cases. Final evaluation was done according to Anderson criteria. In our study out of 36 cases, 27 cases (75%) showed excellent, 8 cases (22%) satisfactory and one (3%) case showed poor result. TENS, both bone forearm fracture, adolescent diaphyseal fracture.
