Management of pediatric open supracondylar humerus fracture using external
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.
