Elastic stable intramedullary nails compared to locking compression plates for treating unstable distal ulnar fractures in adults: a prospective comparative study
ESIN offers several advantages, including reduced incision length, lower frequency of fluoroscopy, shorter duration of the surgical procedure, decreased complication rates, and improved Gartland-Werly scores. Therefore, fixation using ESIN serves as an effective alternative for the treatment of distal ulnar fractures in adults. The minimally invasive nature and lower complication rates are defining characteristics of ESIN fixation.
