A study of vascular injuries in pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures.
194 children with supracondylar fractures of the humerus were reviewed. Of the 49 children with Gartland grade III displacement, signs of vascular compromise were clinically suspected in 5 cases. Immediate open reduction, internal fixation and exploration were performed. Four children had a satisfactory outcome. One child required amputation. A careful clinical evaluation for vascular injury an...
متن کاملClosed Reduction versus Open Reduction and Pin Fixation in Pediatric Type III Supracondylar Humeral Fractures
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...
متن کاملNerve injuries associated with pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most common type of elbow fracture in children. Of all complications associated with supracondylar fractures, nerve injury ranks highest, although reports of the incidence of specific neurapraxia vary. This meta-analysis aims primarily to determine the risk of traumatic neurapraxia in extension-type supracondylar fractures as compared wi...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided Percutaneous Medial Pinning of Pediatric Supracondylar Humeral Fractures to Avoid Ulnar Nerve Injury.
Background: Medial pinning is one of the most controversial aspects of the surgical treatment of supracondylar fractures (SHF) owing to the risk of ulnar nerve injury. Aim: To evaluate the safety and usefulness of medial pinning for SHF using ultrasound imaging for ulnar nerve visualization. Methods: Fifteen children, with a mean age of 60 months, with displaced SHF were treated with a cros...
متن کاملA study of biplanar crossed pin construct in the management of displaced pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures
PURPOSE Study of a biplanar crossed pin construct by two crossed Kirschner wires in the management of displaced extension type supracondylar humeral fractures in children. METHODS Sixty-four patients with such fractures were included and treated according to the study protocol: after achieving closed reduction under general anesthesia with fluoroscopic control, two crossed Kirschner wires of ...
