Intramedullary nailing procedure is highly appreciated by many phsyicians for treating pediatrics forearm fractures. Minimum operating time, fewer chances of incisions, faster bone healing, and accuracy in bone alignment less rigid fixation made this technique more popular and preferable. This study was specially designed to observed the management of pediatric both forearm fracture by using the titanium elastic nail technique. Methodology: Our prospective descriptive study was conducted in King Abdul Aziz Hospital Makkah Saudi Arabia from march 2018 to march 2021. Total 60 patients were enrolled which were treated with titanium elastic nail system (TENS). In this study patients with close displaced and open type 1 fractures with age range of 4 to 14 years were included. Results: Total 42.5% of participants were under the age of 10, and  57.5% of patients were above 10 years or equal to 10 years age. We reported 58.9% prevelance of injury among male patients. Along with these, we reported 53.4% cases with left side fractures and 60.3% had middle bone fractures. In our study, we reported that the overall average union time  was 9.10±1.8. Conclusion: Titanium elastic nailing is the most effective technique for managing unstable fractures among pediatrics. The male population was more prone to forearm fracture, especially at the middle third shaft.  Overall meantime 9 weeks were reported for bone unification. Titanium elastic nailing is more effective technique for patients less than 10 years old. Mean unification time of bone was less among them with little compliactions.
