Postoperative immobilization versus early mobilization following titanium elastic nailing in pediatric diaphyseal both-bone forearm fractures: A retrospective comparative study

Early mobilization following ESIN is feasible and does not delay bone healing or impair function. Routine splinting may be unnecessary, and postoperative care can be tailored to the patient and fracture characteristics. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that when ESIN principles are properly applied, splint use in appropriately selected patients does not lead to any long-term functional deficit, and excellent outcomes can still be expected.
