Abstract
Controversy persists regarding surgical management of long bone injuries in the agebetween 6 to 16 years. Titaniumelasticnail (TEN) fixation was originallymeantasanideal treatment method for femoral fractures, but was gradually applied to other long bone fractures in children, asitrepresents acompromise between conservative and surgical the rapeuticap proaches with satis factory results and minimal complications. The present study is a retrospective analysis of 34 children who were operated for humerus diaphysial injuries with TENS system. Results were analysed and discussed in the study. Results favoured operative management diaphysial injuries of humerus in children aged 6-15 years with TENS, for early mobilisation, ease of care of injured extremity and for its advantages with no major complications and technical ease of surgery, and also minimal damage to tissues in view of it being a closed percutaneous method.
