Elastic stable intramedullary nail fixation has become established as an acceptable method of treatment for diaphyseal fractures of both forearm bones in the paediatric population. It is considered safe, minimally invasive and does not compromise physeal growth. We report a case of delayed rupture of extensor pollicis longus due to attrition over the sharp edges of a protruding nail end after elastic stable intramedullary nailing of a paediatric radial diaphyseal fracture.
弹性稳定髓内钉固定已成为治疗小儿前臂双骨干骨折的一种可接受的方法。它被认为是安全的、微创的，并且不会影响骨骺生长。我们报告一例小儿桡骨干骨折弹性稳定髓内钉固定术后，由于突出的钉端锐缘磨损导致拇长伸肌延迟断裂的病例。
