Background:

  • Ender nails are widely used for certain fracture treatments.
  • Inadequate fixation and nail back-out are significant complications associated with Ender nail use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple and effective looping technique to prevent Ender nail back-out.
  • To improve the reliability and outcomes of Ender nail fixation.

Main Methods:

  • A novel looping technique involving suture material is described.
  • The technique aims to provide supplemental fixation to the Ender nail.

Main Results:

  • The looping technique successfully prevents Ender nail back-out.
  • This method enhances the stability of fracture fixation.

Conclusions:

  • The described looping technique is a simple yet effective solution for preventing Ender nail back-out.
  • This technique can improve the success rates and reduce complications in Ender nail applications.
