Introduction: Supracondylar humerus fracture is one of the most found fractures in children. In addition to adequate fixation, role age differences clinical outcomes operative treatment supracondylar humeral still a matter debate. This study aimed compare and radiological outcome surgery cases Gartland type III fracture. Materials Methods: used cross-sectional design on population patient with ...

We have reviewed 34 children who had been treated by open reduction through a medial incision and transarticular pinning for a severely displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus. Follow-up ranging from nine months to 20 years showed that 27 of 34 elbows (79%) had excellent or good results, with satisfactory resolution of neurovascular problems and no complications due to the method of tre...

We report a case of a girl with complete sacral agenesis associated with arthrogrypotic-like deformity. This case demonstrates that a posterior knee release and braces following operation are effective treatment for knee-flexion contractures. Accordingly it is suggested that a supracondylar osteotomy is not required for mild or moderate recurrence of knee-flexion contractures.

The step-by-step preoperative planning for supracondylar opening wedge osteotomy of the femur for precise correction of the load axis of the lower limb using a fixed-angle implant (95° AO blade plate) is presented. The surgical technique and the use of a bone graft from the same site for filling in the defect are also presented.

A closed reduction technique using a posteriorly inserted intrafocal Kirschner wire for unstable Gartland type-III supracondylar humeral fractures in children is described. This surgical technique has been used in 7 patients. None had neurovascular complications, and all achieved bone union and had good or excellent functional and cosmetic results.

This annotation discusses the findings of two papers in the current issue describing the management of the neurovascular complications of supracondylar fractures of the humerus in childhood, with particular reference to the indications for and the timing of exploration of the brachial artery and the affected nerves.

Introduction: Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is most frequently encountered elbow injuries among children that occupies around 60% all in initial ten years life. Trouble reduction and its maintenance, recurrent association neurovascular structures injury are common complications displaced supracondylar fractures.Methods: Around 64 patients with type III fractures were selected who fulfil...

Background: Supracondylar fractures are one of the most frequent pediatric bone fractures. There well-known treatments for this fracture. The commonly used procedure is closed percutaneous reduction pinning, and open internal fixation irreducible This study aims to evaluate review those two procedures in treating a supracondylar humeral fracture children by evaluating clinical functional outcom...

BACKGROUND Fracture location is an important consideration in managing supracondylar periprosthetic femur fractures. The outcomes of locked plating and intramedullary (IM) nail fixation were therefore compared based on fracture location, being above or at/below the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) flange. METHODS Fifty-seven patients were identified from surgical records as being treated for sup...
