چکیده
Objective: While surgical treatment is the most accepted method for displaced supracondylar humerus fractures in children, there little data about immobilization after surgery. The aim of study to determine whether any difference preventing loss reduction between long-arm cast and splint following pediatric fracture Patients Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis patients with treated operatively 2012 2019 at university hospital. According Skaggs criteria, early postoperative 3rd-week follow-up X-rays were evaluated (LOR). Postoperative method; or was compared context LOR. Results: Cast found be superior LOR first three weeks postoperatively (p˂0.05). There no significant other factors like configuration, patient age technique. Conclusion: radiologic surgery however, clinical relevance this conclusion yet proved. Keywords: Supracondylar fracture, immobilization, Loss

Management of pediatric open supracondylar humerus fracture using external
Open supracondylar fractures of the humerus are rare in children, and the treatment strategy for these fractures is yet to be standardized. We present the case of an 8-year-old boy with open supracondylar humerus fracture that was managed with an external wrist fixator. A good clinical outcome was achieved in this case, without the development of any complications over a 6-month follow-up period.
متن کاملSupracondylar Fracture of the Humerus
Supracondytar fractures of the humerus are common in childhood, and in less developed countries many late malunions are seen. A restricted range of elbow movement often makes it difficult to measure varus-valgus deformity clinically. This can be assessed from bony points but may be hindered by chronic swelling around the elbow. In these cases the pronation-supination range of the forearm is alm...
متن کاملSupracondylar Fracture of the Humerus in Children.
Seventy-eight supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children were reviewed to compare four kinds of treatment: closed reduction and immobilization in a cast or splint, overhead skeletal traction, side-arm skeletal traction, and Dunlop's skin traction. The skeletal traction device usually used was a winged screw of our own design. The arms treated in overhead traction had significantly less ...
متن کاملPediatric supracondylar fractures of the distal humerus
Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are a common pediatric elbow injury that are historically associated with morbidity due to malunion, neurovascular complications, and compartment syndrome. True anteroposterior and lateral radiographs are essential not only for an accurate diagnosis, but also for creating a treatment plan for these injuries. A staging system (based on the lateral radiograp...
متن کاملSecond fracture of the distal humerus after varus malunion of a supracondylar fracture in children.
Nine children sustained a second fracture of the distal humerus after union of an ipsilateral supracondylar fracture which had healed with cubitus varus. There were eight boys and one girl with a mean age of five years (1 to 8) at the time of the second fracture which occurred at a mean of 1.5 years after the first. In all patients, the second fracture was an epiphyseal injury of the distal hum...
