  • Title: Staying Out of Trouble Performing Intramedullary Nailing of Forearm Fractures.
    Author: Wall LB.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop; 2016 Jun; 36 Suppl 1():S71-3. PubMed ID: 27078233.
    Abstract:
    Pediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures occur commonly and often require reduction with stabilization. Intramedullary flexible nails provide an effective method for stabilizing and maintaining reduction of these fractures. There are a few specific technical pearls that can be implemented to improve efficiency of nail placement and minimize postoperative complications, such as painful hardware and compartment syndrome.
