This method, which takes into consideration only the medial tilting and anterior angulation of the distal fragment, achieves complete reduction, ignoring any lateral, posterior and minor rotational displacement...

156 consecutive children with supracondylar fracture humerus were reviewed. Of these, 56 children with severely displaced fractures were treated with side arm traction. A retrospective review revealed that a mean post-reduction Baumann angle of 74.2 degrees for boys and 75.9 degrees for girls; and mean post-reduction humero-ulna angle of 11.6 degrees for boys and 12.7 degrees for girls was achi...
