To review the outcome of paediatric patients with radius and ulna fractures treated with titanium elastic nails. Paediatric patients with radius and ulna fractures who fulfilled the criteria for TENS nailing were used. The criteria included failed closed reduction, instability (>15°angulation, >5°rotation) and open fractures. The patients were treated with retrograde TENS nailing of the radius and ulna. The patients were followed up at a paediatric orthopaedic outpatient clinic at 1, 3, 6 and 12 weeks with a final visit at 6 months. Data was collected at every visit looking at range of motion (pronation and supination), clinical and radiological signs of union and complications.Purpose of Study:
