background supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common elbow injury that requires reduction and immobilization in the proper position to :union:. there are a few reports regarding the position of the forearm immobilization on elbow cosmetic outcome. objectives this study aimed to compare two modes of the forearm, supination and pronation in elbow deformity incidence after closed re...

Supracondylar humeral fractures are the most common fracture managed with surgical intervention in pediatric population. Academic providers involved orthopaedic resident education must have confidence teams who help to manage these injuries. Surgical simulation of supracondylar provides residents an ideal setting develop and refine their technique a defined level proficiency. Through refinement...

Background Supracondylar humeral fractures constitute about 60% and 13% of all pediatric elbow and pediatric skeletal fractures, respectively, with a peak incidence in the 5-7 years age group. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare closed reduction with open reduction and pin fixation in type III supracondylar humeral fractures in children younger than...

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...

OBJECTIVE New locked plate devices offer theoretical advantages for the treatment of supracondylar femur fractures associated with a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). These devices also can be inserted with relative ease by using minimally invasive techniques, provide a fixed angle construct, and improve fixation in osteoporotic bone. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results and compl...

The most common elbow fractures that are seen in children are the supracondylar fractures of the humerus that can be managed by both operative and non-operative modalities [1]. Whether a supracondylar fracture can be managed operatively depends on fracture stability, the degree of displacement and the ability to control displacement through traction [2,3]. Operative management is managed initia...
