Functional Outcome in Both Bone Forearm Fractures in Paediatric Age Group Treated with TENS


1. Background and Epidemiology

Both bone forearm fractures (radius + ulna) are among the most common paediatric fractures, accounting for approximately 40-45% of all childhood fractures. The peak incidence occurs between 8-14 years. The dominant mechanism is a fall on an outstretched hand (FOOSH), responsible for ~80% of cases; road traffic accidents account for the remainder. Males are affected 4-7 times more frequently than females.
The forearm functions as a unit - rotation (supination/pronation) depends on the integrity of both bones and the interosseous membrane. Malunion or loss of radial bow directly impairs forearm rotation, making anatomical restoration the primary goal.

2. Indications for TENS in Paediatric Both Bone Forearm Fractures

TENS is indicated when conservative management (closed reduction + cast) is likely to fail or has failed:
IndicationRationale
Unstable / displaced fractures (>10-15° angulation)High risk of redisplacement in cast
Both bone mid-diaphyseal fractures in children >10 yearsRemodelling potential decreasing
Fractures approaching skeletal maturityNear-zero tolerance for angulation
Failed closed reductionIrreducible fractures
Open fractures (Grade I-II)Need stable fixation
Floating elbow / polytraumaMultiple injuries requiring early mobilisation
Bayonet apposition in older childrenUnacceptable in those with <2 years growth remaining
Acceptable reduction tolerances (Orthobullets / Rockwood & Wilkins):
AgeAngulationMalrotationBayonet Apposition
0-10 years<15°<45°Acceptable if <1 cm short
≥10 years<10°<30°Not acceptable
Near skeletal maturity (<2 yr growth remaining)Not acceptable

3. Principle of TENS (Titanium Elastic Nailing System)

TENS is based on the principle of three-point fixation - a pre-bent elastic nail is inserted eccentrically and, on impaction, bows outward, creating three cortical contact points within the medullary canal. This provides:
  • Stable fixation through spring-like interference fit
  • Preservation of physeal growth plates (epiphysis avoided)
  • Maintenance of radial bow and interosseous space
  • Minimal periosteal disruption
  • Allows early mobilisation without cast in most cases
The nail material (titanium) has a modulus of elasticity closer to bone than stainless steel, reducing stress shielding.

4. Surgical Technique

Nail Selection

  • Nail diameter = 40% of narrowest medullary canal diameter
  • Typically 1.5 mm, 2 mm, or 2.5 mm nails
  • For both bone fractures: 2 mm nails are most commonly used (used in ~47-77% of cases)
  • Same diameter nails for radius and ulna are preferred; matched pair configuration

Entry Points

BoneEntry PointApproach
RadiusRetrograde - distal metaphysis, 1-2 cm proximal to physis, radial styloidAvoid EPL tendon
UlnaRetrograde (most common) or antegrade - proximal metaphysis (olecranon) or distal ulnaAntegrade avoids distal ulnar physis

Procedure Steps

  1. Fluoroscopic guidance (C-arm) throughout
  2. Small stab incision at entry point
  3. Awl/trocar to create entry hole at 45° to cortex
  4. Nail curved to 30-40° arc (radius of curvature ~3x medullary canal diameter)
  5. Nail introduced and passed to fracture site under C-arm guidance
  6. Fracture reduced; nail advanced across fracture and seated in metaphysis
  7. Both bones fixed (double nailing) - radius first in most series, then ulna
  8. Nail ends bent and cut, leaving 5-10 mm outside cortex for easy retrieval
  9. Wound closure; above-elbow slab/cast for 2-3 weeks post-op
Single vs Double Nailing: Flynn and Waters described single bone fixation (fixing one bone restores alignment of both). Du et al. showed no significant difference in functional results or complications between single vs double nailing techniques.

5. Functional Outcome Assessment - Scoring Systems

Price CT et al. Criteria (1990) - Most widely used for paediatric forearm

Evaluates: Range of motion (ROM) + symptoms
ResultROM LossSymptoms
Excellent<10° loss of supination/pronationNone
Good10°-20° lossMild, occasional
Fair21°-30° lossModerate
Poor>30° loss OR malunionSevere / requiring re-intervention

Flynn et al. / Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Criteria

Used primarily for femur/tibia but adapted for forearm - assesses limb shortening, deformity, and pain.

Daruwalla Score

Also used in several Indian series evaluating forearm fracture outcomes.

6. Functional Outcomes - Published Evidence

Key Studies

Kapila et al. (2016) - Prospective study, 50 cases, India (PMC5198410)
  • Age group: 6-14 years
  • Follow-up: 6 months
  • Using Price CT et al. criteria:
    • Excellent: 92%
    • Good: 8%
    • Poor: 0%
  • Complications: Superficial pin tract infection in 6% only
  • Conclusion: TENS is effective and minimally invasive with excellent functional results
Jain et al. (Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, 2023) - Retrospective, 65 children (Acta Orthop Belg 2023;89:539)
  • 60 children had both bone forearm fractures
  • 83.3% treated with TENS of both bones
  • Mean follow-up: 5.84 months
  • Excellent functional results in most cases despite overall complication rate
  • Open reduction associated with higher complication rate
  • Delayed union: 6% | Non-union: 1.5% (all non-unions limited to ulna and associated with open reduction)
  • Conclusion: TENS is safe and reliable for irreducible/unstable both bone fractures
JOCR Study (2024) - Paediatric both bone forearm fractures, India
  • 16 patients, age range 5-15 years (mean 10 years)
  • Male:Female = 7:1
  • 75% closed nailing, 25% open reduction required
  • Nail diameter chosen: 2-3 mm (2.5 mm most common)
  • Outcomes using Price and Daruwalla scores: predominantly excellent or good
  • No cases of non-union
  • Complications: nail extrusion, soft tissue irritation, delayed union
  • Hospital stay median 5 days; follow-up mean 15 months
Traumamon series (Haryana, India) - 30 patients, retrospective
  • Price et al. criteria: Excellent in 28/30 patients (93.3%), Good in 2/30
  • No poor results at 1-year follow-up
  • Complications: skin irritation (8 patients), superficial infection at nail entry (2 patients, responded to oral antibiotics), ulnar nail back-out (2 patients)
Tella & Aldhilan (Orthopedic Reviews, 2024) - Retrospective, multisite
  • Forearm fractures: union time average 11 weeks (range 6-16 weeks)
  • Using CHOP forearm fracture fixation outcome classification
  • All fractures healed uneventfully
  • No poor results

Aggregate Summary Across Published Literature

Outcome CategoryRange Across Studies
Excellent results73-93%
Good results7-27%
Fair/Poor results0-5%
Time to radiological union6-16 weeks (average 8-11 weeks)
Complication rate (overall)17-42% (mostly minor)

7. Complications

Minor (Most Common)

ComplicationApproximate Rate
Skin irritation / soft tissue irritation at nail entry site12-20%
Nail back-out / nail migration3-7%
Superficial infection at entry site2-6% (usually responds to oral antibiotics)
Nail prominence causing discomfortCommon, resolves after nail removal

Major (Less Common)

ComplicationApproximate RateNotes
Delayed union1.87-6%Higher with open reduction; mainly ulna
Non-union0-1.5%Almost exclusively ulna; associated with open reduction
Compartment syndromeRareHigher risk: open fracture, longer operative time, tourniquet time
Refracture after nail removalRareAvoid premature removal
Synostosis (radioulnar)Very rare
Nerve injury (PIN, superficial radial)Very rareAvoid distal radial entry too dorsal
Tendon injury (EPL rupture)Very rareSharp nail ends against EPL at radial entry
Malunion with loss of radial bowRare with TENS vs castLeads to restricted rotation
Key finding from literature: Non-union was almost exclusively limited to the ulna and strongly associated with open reduction rather than closed nailing. This emphasises the importance of attempting closed reduction first.

8. TENS vs Other Treatment Methods

ParameterCastK-wirePlates/ScrewsTENS
InvasivenessNoneMinimalHighly invasiveMinimally invasive
Physis preservationYesRiskRisk (with plating)Yes
Radial bow maintenanceVariablePoorGoodGood
Early mobilisationNoNoYesYes
Implant removal neededNoYesYes (often)Yes
Functional outcome (excellent)VariableVariableGoodExcellent (>90%)
Complication typeRedisplacement, malunionPin tract infectionPeriosteal stripping, plate removal morbidity, refractureNail back-out, skin irritation
A systematic review by Patel et al. (2014) and a meta-analysis by Baldwin et al. (2014) found no significant difference in functional outcomes between intramedullary nails and plates for paediatric both bone forearm fractures - but complication profiles differ, with nailing having lower revision surgery rates and better cosmesis.

9. Post-operative Protocol

TimeProtocol
Immediate post-opAbove-elbow backslab/slab (2-3 weeks)
2-3 weeksRemove slab; begin elbow/wrist ROM exercises
4-6 weeksRadiological check - callus formation
6-8 weeksFracture union in most cases; resume activities
4-6 months (after union)Nail removal under GA/sedation
After nail removalProtect from contact sports for 4-6 weeks (refracture risk)
Nail removal timing is important - early removal (<3-4 months) risks refracture; delayed removal (>12-18 months) can cause nail incarceration. 4-6 months post-union is the recommended window.

10. Factors Affecting Outcome

FactorEffect on Outcome
Age >10 yearsHigher risk of redisplacement with cast; TENS indicated earlier
Fracture level (distal vs middle vs proximal 1/3)Proximal fractures technically harder to nail
Open vs closed reductionOpen reduction = higher delayed union/non-union rate
Nail diameter adequacyUndersized nails - poor fixation; >40% canal fill recommended
Correct radial bow restorationCritical for forearm rotation
Nail entry siteIncorrect entry risks EPL or PIN injury
Surgeon experienceHigher complication rate with less experienced surgeons (Jain et al.)

11. Conclusions from the Literature

  1. TENS is a safe, reliable, minimally invasive method for unstable paediatric both bone forearm fractures.
  2. Functional outcomes are excellent in 73-93% and good in 7-27% of patients across published series, with virtually no poor outcomes.
  3. The physis is spared, making it especially suitable for growing children.
  4. TENS maintains the radial bow and interosseous space, directly translating to good forearm rotation.
  5. Closed nailing is strongly preferred - open reduction significantly increases delayed union and non-union risk, predominantly in the ulna.
  6. The overall complication rate (17-42%) sounds high but the vast majority are minor (skin irritation, nail back-out) and resolve with nail removal.
  7. Time to radiological union ranges from 6-16 weeks, averaging 8-11 weeks.
  8. TENS is comparable or superior to plate fixation in terms of functional results, with the added advantage of being growth-plate-friendly and less invasive.
  9. Surgeon experience and adherence to TENS technique principles (nail diameter, entry point, fracture reduction quality) are the main modifiable determinants of outcome.
