Introduction: The subset of Pediatrics distal radius fractures involving the dia-metaphyseal junction presents a significant challenge to the orthopaedic community in terms of standard treatment protocol. Their distinctive feature stems from the fact that they are usually located too distally to be treated with classic ESIN and too proximally to be treated with conventional K wire fixation.
Case-Series: In our case series involving 6 patients, we would like to introduce our modified ESIN technique in which a single ESIN in introduced in a retrograde fashion proximal to the fracture site and advanced distally to just above the growth plate for the treatment of quadratus fractures.
Conclusion: Our technique has been demonstrated to be an effective alternative to the usual ESIN or K wire fixation with no notable complications during follow-up
