Do weight and BMI predict the results of surgical treatment with ESIN in pediatric tibial shaft fractures?
We confirm that ESIN nails can also be used in patients weighing > 50 kg affected by tibial shaft fractures; in fact, we found no statistical differences between the two groups' clinical and radiographic healing times. Moreover, we found no difference in results between weight and BMI for tibial shaft fracture. The statistical difference correlation in ST between GR1 and GR2 does not imply an important difference in clinical practice.
