Background: Supracondylar humeral fracture is probably the most common elbow in children requiring surgical intervention. We observed a subtype of pediatric supracondylar with sideward translation, without substantial displacement sagittal plane on initial radiographs. The purpose this study was to calculate incidence and suggest modification standard operative technique, achieve desired alignm...

PURPOSE To report a new locking lateral closing wedge osteotomy used in repairing pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture malunions, which allows for coronal and sagittal plane correction of both cubitus varus and extension. METHODS At our institution, eight children with cubitus varus resulting from prior supracondylar humerus fracture malunions underwent a new technique of lateral closing ...

BACKGROUND Throwing athletes risk medial elbow injury from extreme valgus stress generated across the medial elbow during throwing. Braces have been developed to protect the elbow joint; however, no previous study has investigated the effects of elbow bracing on medial elbow joint space gapping associated with repetitive throwing. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigat...

Background & Aims: supracondylar humerus fracture is one of the most common pediatric elbow fractures accounting for about 16% of the pediatric fractures. Loss of reduction is one of the complications after closed and percutaneous fixation. This research is aimed to investigate the factors involved in the loss of reduction. Method: In this descriptive study, the children with supracondylar hum...
