1 Appendix Patient Information Your child has a fracture and will be surgically treated under general anesthesia. The procedure consists in reduction of the fracture, which may necessitate an open approach, and internal fixation using flexible intramedullary nailing (FIN). Of all currently used fixation methods (screw plates, intramedullary nails, external fixators), FIN is best suited for children and adolescents, because it does not interfere with the growth process and has the lowest complication rate. Still, potential complications may occur: Complications related to general anesthesia Complications related to fracture and healing process: Pain, swelling, hematoma Skin lesions Vascular lesions, compartment syndrome, ischemia Sensory deficit (sensory loss, paresthesia, etc.) and/ or motor deficit (paralysis, paresis) Postoperative complications related to prolonged bed rest, including phlebitis and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) Joint stiffness, amyotrophia, algodystrophy Delayed union, nonunion Growth-related complications, including angular deformity and/or leg length discrepancy Refracture, recurrent fracture Malunion or bone deformity Degenerative arthritis Complications related to implantation of a medical device: Wound hematoma. Superficial and/or deep infection. Vascular and/or neurologic complications. Incomplete reduction or secondary displacement requiring surgical revision. Implant breakage. Hypertrophic scars. Complications related to hardware removal (implants intended for temporary fixation). FIN-related complications: Nail ends are left proud of the bone surface to facilitate later removal; prominent nails may break through the skin or result in painful joint motion. Prominence disappears as soon as nails are removed. In the meantime, the child must avoid excessive range of motion, and is requested to gently mobilize the skin area around the cut ends of the nails to prevent tissue adhesion. If your child experiences unusual pain or discomfort during the postoperative period, immediately consult your medical doctor or the surgeon. P.
