Antegrade elastic stable intramedullary nail fixation for paediatric distal radius diaphyseal metaphyseal junction fractures: A new operative approach

摘要

Background and purpose: The treatment of paediatric distal radius diaphyseal metaphyseal junction (DRDMJ) fractures is a challenge. The purpose of this study was to introduce a new operative approach at the proximal "safe zone" of the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) to treat paediatric DRDMJ fractures and analyse the safety and efficacy of antegrade elastic stable intramedullary nail (ESIN) fixation.
