Abstract
This case report outlines the effective use of the Titanium Elastic Nail System (TENS) for treating a peri-implant mid-shaft radius and ulna fracture in a patient with previous elbow arthrodesis and rotational full-thickness flap coverage. Given the paucity of literature surrounding this complex problem, we present a minimally - invasive treatment option which facilitated complete fracture healing, demonstrating the TENS's efficacy in complex orthopedic scenarios.
