Adolescent Lateral Entry Femoral Nail (ALFN) vs Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) in Pediatric Diaphyseal Femur Fractures
Introduction Pediatric diaphyseal femur fractures are among the most common long bone injuries in children and adolescents. With modern orthopedic implants, two main fixation systems are used: the Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) and the Adolescent Lateral Entry Femoral Nail (ALFN). Understanding their indications and biomechanical differences is essential for achieving optimal healing and functional recovery. […]

Eight-Plate vs. Reconstruction Plate in Pediatric Guided Growth
1. Introduction Pediatric lower limb angular deformities, such as genu varum (bowlegs) and genu valgum (knock-knees), require timely intervention to prevent joint degeneration and improve gait and aesthetics. In growing children, guided growth, also known as temporary hemiepiphysiodesis, is a minimally invasive solution that leverages the child’s remaining growth potential to correct deformity gradually. Among the […]

What Are the Different Types of K-Wires
K-wires are used for fixation of bone fragments of epi-/metaphyseal fractures, fractures of small bones, but also for reduction of fragments in multifragmental fractures to achieve stable fixation. History of K-wire In 1909, Martin Kirschner introduced the Kirschner wire (K-wire), initially used for skeletal traction but now serving various purposes. Its development was influenced by […]

Telescopic lntramedullary Nail and Operation Technique
What is Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)? Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic or heritable disease in which bones fracture (break) easily, often with no obvious cause or minimal injury. OI is also known as brittle bone disease, and the symptoms can range from mild with only a few fractures to severe with many medical complications. Telescopic […]
