The most common elbow fractures that are seen in children are the supracondylar fractures of the humerus that can be managed by both operative and non-operative modalities [1]. Whether a supracondylar fracture can be managed operatively depends on fracture stability, the degree of displacement and the ability to control displacement through traction [2,3]. Operative management is managed initia...

We present results of supracondylar nailing in six patients who suffered distal femoral fractures above total knee arthroplasty. The average age of patients was 68 (42-92) years. All six fractures healed in a satisfactory alignment in an average duration of 14.6 weeks. There were no wound infection, loss of reduction or implant failure. All patients had regained their previous range of movement...

Supracondylar fractures are divided into two types as extensor and flexor. Extension-type fractures are more frequent and particularly visible after palm falls when the elbow is hyperextended (3). With many classifications being defined, the Wilkins-modified Gartland classification system is the most commonly used system for the classification of extension-type supracondylar humerus fractures (...

Abstract Background: Sometimes seen distal to humerus foramen supratrochleare and supracondylar process are rare variations. Supracondylar is a variations observed on the side of humerus. The variant located 1/3 supratrochlear may appear between coronoid fossa olecra-non fossa. Since in semi-transparent form, it be misdiagnosed as an osteolytic lesion. aim present study was identify prevalence ...

background: arterial damage is sometimes associated with supracondylar fractures of the humerus. diagnosis and careful management of the fracture and arterial repair is crucial. objectives: the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and outcome of supracondylar fractures of the humerus with signs and symptoms of limb ischemia, before and after arterial decompression or arterial recon...

BACKGROUND Periprosthetic supracondylar fractures of the femur after total knee arthroplasty are not common but are usually difficult to treat due to the advanced age of patients and frequently accompanying osteoporosis. Retrograde intramedullary nailing can be effective in promoting healing of these fractures by providing sufficient stability, but the number of beneficiaries is small due to it...
