Elastic intramedullary nails for children are intended for fractures of lower limbs in children and small patients, and fractures of upper limbs in all patients. These nails can also be used in bones with a narrow medullary canal. Elastic nails do not disturb bone growth in children. Intramedullary osteosynthesis with elastic nails comprises: - implants (intramedullary nail, end cap), - instrument set for the device implantation and removal when the treatment process has been finished, - surgical technique. The presented range of implants is made of titanium and its alloys and implantable steel in accordance with ISO 5832 standards.
