Cortical erosion after elastic stable intramedullary nail fixation for pediatric long bone fractures: Case series according to the site

Cortical bone erosion by ESIN could occur in pediatric long bones without any iatrogenic problem or disease related to the bony structure. Erosion at diaphysis was more common than at metaphysis-diaphysis junction. Cortical erosion should be considered in children who retain their ESIN for a long time.
