We read with interest the article "Complications of Titanium and Stainless Steel Elastic Nail Fixation of Pediatric Femoral Fractures" (2008;90:1305-13), in which Wall et al. report a 23.2% rate of malunion with use of titanium elastic nails in pediatric femoral fractures. This rate is unusually high when compared with the malunion rates of approximately 10% in similar published studies on the use of this device1-7.
