AbstractDerived from Ender's elastic nail and from other fixation techniques, elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) provides a combination of elastic mobility and stability. The operation uses only small incisions, is rapid, blood loos is minimal and physeal area stands intact. Mobilisation using crutches but without-bearing is allowed as soon as the fracture is painfree and from third week starts partial weight-bearing. Between November 1994 and May 1996 21 children with femoral shaft fracture, 7 children with tibial shaft fracture and 1 child with humeral shaft fracture were admitted to the Pediatric Hospital in Brno and treated with ESIN. The guider and the nails from finest quality steel were made for us by the czech firm Medin, a. s. to order. We report about our good experiences with the ESIN-method.
