Residual risk related to re-fracture rate will be addressed by this PMCF study. The research question is, if the re-fracture risk with Activa IM-nail is in line with the other treatment methods, namely ESIN.~Primary objective: will be to assess clinical outcome by determining re-fracture rate of all treated patients, difference of re-fracture rate depending on the fracture type determined by X-ray (e.g. greenstick vs. non-greenstick fracture), subject's age, BMI, surgical technique, immobilization time and bony union formation.
The Activa IM-Nail™ is used in the fixation of forearm fractures with cast to achieve a level of reduction and stabilisation that is appropriate to the age of the child. The post-market clinical follow-up study will be performed to identify the residual risk related to re-fracture and to determine its impact to the risk/benefit ratio of Activa IM-Nail™.
