[Intramedullary nailing of fractures during the growth period with a new implant].
Intramedullary nailing with flexible titan pins is a simple and safe method for the treatment of fractures in children. Avoiding the epiphysis two pins are introduced into the medullary space in a double-crossing way to stabilise diaphysial fractures of bigger bones such as femur, tibia or humerus. Forearm fractures are splinted with a single pin each to radius and ulna. The method is also practicable in proximal fractures of the radius, reduction and stabilisation can be achieved with an intramedullary pin in one step avoiding arthrotomy.
