Abstract
Aim to retrospectively evaluate the treatment results in children with diaphyseal forearm fractures operated on using intramedullary metal osteosynthesis with titanium elastic rods according to the Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) method.
 Material and methods. The treatment results of 79 children were included in the retrospective analysis. The patients' mean age was 11.8 years (from 6 to16 years).
 Results. The results of treatment were evaluated using the classification of Anderson et al. [20] in the early postoperative period, at 2, 4 and 6 months after surgery.
 Conclusion. The ESIN osteosynthesis for diaphyseal fractures of the forearm bones in children allows for achieving excellent treatment results and early limb functionality in the absolute majority of cases.
