Supracondylar 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 کاملThe Role of Nerve Exploration in Supracondylar Humerus Fracture in Children with Nerve Injury
The supracondylar humerus fracture (SCHF) in children is common and can be complicated with nerve injury either primarily immediate post-trauma or secondarily posttreatment. The concept of neurapraxic nerve injury makes most surgeons choose to 'watch and see' the nerve recovery before deciding second surgery if the nerve does not recover. We report three cases of nerve injury in SCHF, all of wh...
متن کاملNerve injuries associated with supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children.
Vascular complications associated with supracondylar fracture of humerus are well recognised. Less well recognised are neurological injuries associated with this fracture. A prospective study was conducted to explore the role of open reduction and internal fixation of this fracture. The article presents the incidence of nerve lesions in 46 cases of supracondylar fracture of humerus; review of p...
متن کاملAnterior interosseous nerve palsy after supracondylar fracture of humerus in adult. Case report.
We present a case of anterior interosseous nerve palsy after a supracondylar fracture of the humerus in a 24-year-old woman. The patient was diagnosed and treated in two hospitals where the impairment of function of the hand indicating nerve damage was not noticed during a standard examination. An open reduction of the fracture with internal fixation using LCP plates and additional screws was p...
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...
