A study of supracondylar fracture of humerus in children treated with lateral pinning

Introduction: Supracondylar fracture humerus is one of the commonest fractures suffered in children accounting 50 to 70% around elbow children. Complications malunion or growth deformities into cubitus varus valgus necessitates accurate reduction and union along with maintaining normal range motion. Closed splintage plasters fail achieve these goals often, so percutaneous pinning k wires from lateral condyle assumed help managing cases without aforesaid complications. Aim: To assess functional outcome, complications if any associated using K supracondylar Materials Methods: In prospective study design, total 30 treated at tertiary care teaching hospital southern Rajasthan between January 2020 October were included. The as well radiological assessment observation was done regular follow up till union. Results: All achieved solid 4 6 weeks duration. outcome satisfactory 90% (including excellent good results) Flynn’s Criteria 1 patient having fair motion carrying angle while 2 patients had poor developed. Conclusion: We concluded that preservation optimal function after satisfactorily fixing a short learning curve minimal malunion, deformity, loss which are more conservative management no risk ulnar nerve damage seen cross wire fixation.
