Further study details as provided by Colaris, Joost, M.D.:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • pronation and supination

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • complications, function, esthetics, complaints in daily living, X-rays

Estimated Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: January 2006
Detailed Description:

Children who arrive at the emergency unit with an unstable both-bone midshaft forearm fracture will be asked to join the trial.

If the fracture will be unstable during reposition in the operating room, a randomization between 1 or 2 ESIN will be done.

The aftertreatment will be the same for both groups: above elbow plaster for 3 weeks. Outpatient clinic visits till a follow-up of 9 months. During these visits we will investigate: consolidation and dislocation on X-ray, function of both arms, complaints in daily living and complications.
