Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the functional outcomes of intramedullary nailing with Enders nails in the treatment of closed forearm fractures as primary treatment. 25 patients included in our study out of which, 15 were male and 10 were female patients aged 12‐30 (average 14‐18) years. Upper third fractures were 6, mid shaft 10 and lower third were 9. Average duration from trauma to surgery was 1‐7 days. After a mean follow‐up of 20 (range, 10‐12) months, results were excellent in 19 patients, good in 5 and fair in one. None was poor. The mean operating time was 45 minutes. The mean time to bone union was 10 (range, 8‐12) weeks. The mean time in the cast was 6‐8 weeks. All patients regained a full range of movement, except in one who had limited supination and pronation (<20°) due to a degree of malrotation. 3 patients had pain at radial nail insertion site and 2 patients had superficial pin tract infection. Closed Intramedullary nailing using Ender nails plus cast immobilisation is effective method for treating both bone fractures in children and young adults as primary treatment.
