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...

INTRODUCTION Supracondylar fractures of the humeral bone are frequent injuries in children. It has been affirmed that supracondylar fractures have an excellent prognosis when proper treatment is applied. OBJECTIVE Present of the statistical relationships between fractures occurring and patient's development period; the relation between development period and site of the fracture and statistic...

BACKGROUND Our preliminary retrospective study assessed outcomes after the use of Ni-Ti arched shape-memory connector (ASC) combined with partially threaded cancellous screws (PTCS) to repair coronal plane supracondylar-condylar femoral fractures. METHODS Twenty-one patients (16 men and 5 women) with a mean age of 34.1 years (range, 28 to 44 years) with coronal plane supracondylar and condyla...

Introduction: Infection is a common complication in multiply traumatized patients with the majority being nosocomial in origin. We report a series of three patients with open fractures of lower limb which were initially debrided and stabilized with external fixation. Subsequent conversion to definitive internal fixation was performed. All three patients subsequently suffered limb loss as a resu...

introduction: transtibial amputation is the most common amputation in lower limbs. volume loss of residual limb occurs during daily use of prostheses, which results in pistoning between residual limb and prosthetic socket. the goal of this study was to design and fabricate a pneumatic suspension system in transtibial supracondylar prostheses and to evaluate its effect on residual limb pistoning...

Background: Pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow fractures in children. Operative management includes closed reduction and placement of 2 to 3 laterally based pins. Occasionally, a medial pin is used to create a crossed fixation pattern, despite risk of nearly 10% iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury. The objective of this study was to assess the trends and outcomes in t...
