Ratnakaran Nambiar firm 3 point fixation clarifies single nail application. I fully agree with what Dr Taral Nagda said ' see the child as your own' and you will find the best option for treatment. I would like to avoid spica where ever possible as I see it a torture to the child. More over here no immobilization of any sort required. Parents will be happy and the child happier

Swapnil Keny Dear Dr Nambiar, A single Enders nail is an inadequate fixation for anybody's child.Since you have inserted one closed, you could have easily inserted the other .The problem is not with fixation. It's with stability of the fracture site.Enders nails do not work on the principle of 3 point fixation as they are non elastic.They work on the principle of canal stacking.Hence the more the better.
The problem now is counteracting the forces which will be trying to deform this fracture hence you need to be conservative with mobilisation. Though you may be able to get away this time, it may only be due to good luck and nothing else.

Nikhil Goradia I alwsys use two nails from opposite cortices... just like dr. Yahya. Gives good 3 point fixation and avoids rotatory problems.
