Extension of the elbow and supracondylar fractures in children.
We tested the hypothesis that children who sustain a supracondylar fracture have a greater range of elbow hyperextension than those with a fracture of the distal radius. Three observers made 358 measurements in 183 children (114 boys and 69 girls). There were 119 fractures of the distal radius and 64 supracondylar fractures. Initially, the group with a supracondylar fracture appeared to have ex...
متن کاملEarly versus delayed treatment of extension type-3 supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children.
We examined differences in the rate of open reduction, operating time, length of hospital stay and outcome between two groups of children with displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus who underwent surgery either within 12 hours of the injury or later. There were 77 children with type-3 supracondylar fractures. Of these, in 43 the fracture was reduced and pinned within 12 hours and in 3...
متن کاملA systematic review of early versus delayed treatment for type III supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
We performed a systematic review of early versus delayed treatment for type III Gartland supracondylar humeral fractures in children. We identified five non-randomised retrospective studies that fulfilled our criteria. We performed the analysis on 396 patients who sustained a type III supracondylar humeral fracture of which 243 (61.4%) belonged to the early treatment group and 153 (38.6%) belon...
متن کامل[Results of treatment of displaced supracondylar fractures in children].
Supracondylar fractures of humerus are the most common fractures in children. The management of severely displaced, unstable fractures of the humerus in children continues to be controversial. We undertook a retrospective study of 48 children with displaced supracondylar fractures (8 were treated with plaster and 40 with cross percutaneous Kirschner wire pinning). Only three children were treat...
متن کاملTriceps-sparing Posterior Approach for Supracondylar Fractures in Children
Background: The most common pediatric elbow fracture is supracondylar humeral fracture which accounts for 60% ofelbow fractures in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of open reduction and internal fixation oftype III supracondylar humeral fractures using a Triceps sparing posterior approach.Methods: In total, 98 patients were evaluated from June 2007 t...
