Assessment of functional and radiological outcomes of closed reduction and K-wire fixation of supracondylar fracture of humerus in children

: Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are commonly seen in children and difficult to manage because their unstable nature. It is maintain reduction with splints. Non-operative treatment associated malunion open more invasive procedure. Closed fracture percutaneous K-wire fixation preferred procedure satisfactory results. Children who came tertiary care hospital a supracondylar region following history trauma elbow X-ray showing Gartland Type II extension III were included this study. All these managed closed K-wires inserted by technique. Functional outcome radiological union noted. A total 35 operated. About half study population range 6 8 years. Majority subjects boys. The average time period between sustaining surgical was 1.35 ± 0.48 days. final results modality graded based on Flynn’s criteria about 94.28% had excellent good outcomes. One child complication superficial pin tract infection. Displaced can be effectively criss-cross fixation. This does not disturb normal healing process.
