Functional outcome of carrying angle changes following supracondylar humeral fractures in children

Background: The carrying angle (CA) is the created when long axis of humerus and stretched supinated forearm intersect. It disappears elbow pronated flexed. aim this work was to study changes CA after supracondylar humeral fractures in children as compared unaffected side assess functional outcomes related these possible changes.Methods: This retrospective-prospective conducted on 21 aged more than 5 years 12 old, having closed within one week from injury treated by reduction fixed two percutaneous K-wires applied lateral side, had a change other at end minimum follow up period (twelve months fixation fracture). Results: As stated Flynn’s criteria for grading, all cases achieved satisfactory outcomes, 16 patients excellent 4 good patient fair whereas no were graded unsatisfactory outcomes. All parents totally satisfied with results, only three minimal degree dull pain that just appears lifting heavy objects, case pin tract infection resolved oral antibiotics.Conclusions: following managed are resulting represented few complications reported; they weren’t severe didn’t affect daily living activities patients.
