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 (...

BACKGROUND Nonunion of the supracondylar area of the humerus is a very difficult area to treat. The Ilizarov method has been shown to be effective in the treatment of nonunion of the humeral diaphysis. However, there is little in the literature regarding the treatment of nonunion of the supracondylar area especially in post-infection cases. METHODS Eight patients with a mean age of 45.73 ± 11...

abstract the supracondylar process is a beak-like bony projection that arises from the anteromedial surface of the humerus. the process has rarely been associated with compression of the median nerve and seldom requires treatment. we report a case of a supracondylar process that caused tenting of the median nerve with elbow extension and pronation.

CRIF with K-wire fixation is the treatment of choice in fractures suprracondylar humerus children. The study was done thirty patient to evaluate outcome percutaneous lateral pinning using k wire. Thirty case displaced fracture supracondylar children managed k- average age group 7.4 year (minimum 5year and maximun-13year year). immobilised for three weeks. Follow up at 3, 6, 9.12.24 week all com...

Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are most common traumatic elbow injury in children. Several techniques described their support. Blount’s method is one widely used orthopedic means. The objective our study was to evaluate results supracondylar treated by this department. This a descriptive, longitudinal with prospective collection over period 12 months from May 2018 April 2019. It focused...

We present a case of anterior interosseous nerve palsy after a supracondylar fracture of the humerus in a 24-year-old woman. The patient was diagnosed and treated in two hospitals where the impairment of function of the hand indicating nerve damage was not noticed during a standard examination. An open reduction of the fracture with internal fixation using LCP plates and additional screws was p...
