Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of two nailing systems—Titanium Elastic Nailing (TENS) and Stainless Steel Elastic Nailing (SSENS)—for treating pediatric femoral fractures in patients aged 6 to 16 years.
- Data from 83 patients treated at William Beaumont Hospital revealed similar outcomes between TENS and SSENS, with TENS taking an average of 93.8 days for fracture union and SSENS taking 82.2 days.
- The findings indicate no significant differences in complications or recovery times between the two methods, suggesting the choice of nailing system should depend on individual patient circumstances, though the study faced limitations such as a small sample size.
