The outcome of Radial Neck Fracture Treated with Closed/ Open Reduction and Retrograde Kirschner Wires Fixation in the Paediatric Age Group

Background Radial neck fractures in children are rare injuries, representing 1 to 5% of all elbow pediatric fractures. Most them non-displaced or slightly displaced and treated conservatively. Severely angulated radial (Judet type III IV O’Brien fractures) requires surgical treatment.
 Objective To study the clinical radiological outcomes following closed open reduction percutaneous intramedullary stabilization fracture children.
 Method There were 24 with Judet II, who underwent retrograde Kirschner wires. Functional evaluated based on Mayo Elbow Performance Score.
 Result The mean age patients was 8.42 ± 1.82 years boys 15(62.5%) girls 9(37.5%) number. An excellent result seen 5(20.8%) cases good results according performance score. Analyzing a passive active range motion, 5 had results, 15 4 fair compared normal side. Radiological evaluation showed healing alignment Ursei classification.
 Conclusion Closed wires for provide few complications.
