(A) Definition of an MDJ fracture of the distal radius. A 9-year-old boy presented with a right distal radius and ulna. (A, B): Radial fractures are observed in the MDJ. (C, D): Closed reduction and ESIN are performed. (E, F): Radiographic examination performed 1 month after the surgery reveals radiographic union. (G, H): The elastic nail was removed 4 months after the surgery. Final follow-up findings show fracture healing and no deformities. MDJ: metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction; ESIN: elastic stable intramedullary nailing
