Forearm fractures treated with elastic stable intramedullary nailing: Is casting still necessary?

Our preliminary results indicate that for both-bone midshaft forearm fracture, elastic stable intramedullary nailing can be safely performed without postoperative casting, promoting faster healing and better patient satisfaction.
