The supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children remains the most challenging injury for the orthopedic surgeon. It is important to consider the options of treatment very carefully and tailor the treatment according to the characteristics of each fracture. In this study we observed outcomes of surgical procedures using the Kirschner-wire for the dislocated (displaced) supracondylar fractur...

interventions improve analgesic treatment of supracondylar fractures in a pediatric emergency department. BACKgRouND: Provision of appropriate and timely treatment for pain in the pediatric population has been challenging. Children with painful conditions commonly present to emergency departments (EDs), a setting in which it may be particularly difficult to consistently provide timely analgesic...

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 ...

INTRODUCTION Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning are the most widely used treatment options for displaced supracondylar humerus fractures in children, but there is still no consensus concerning the most preferred technique in injuries of the extension type. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare three common orthopaedic procedures in the treatment of displaced extension type sup...

: Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are commonly seen in children and difficult to manage because their unstable nature. It is maintain reduction with splints. Non-operative treatment associated malunion open more invasive procedure. Closed fracture percutaneous K-wire fixation preferred procedure satisfactory results. Children who came tertiary care hospital a supracondylar region followi...

Although nerve injuries occur commonly with pediatric upper extremity fractures, there is very little existing literature to guide management of those that do not recover during routine fracture healing and follow-up, even less guidance available regarding the choice diagnostic tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences, electromyography (EMG), conduction velocities, (NCV), ultras...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to evaluate comparatively the outcomes of pediatric displaced supracondylar fractures of humerus which were treated with either closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) or open reduction and percutaneous pinning (ORPP). MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 100 children with displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus, who were tre...
