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...

Our data differed from the li...
متن کاملDisplaced supracondylar fractures of the elbow in children. A report on the fixation of extension and flexion fractures by two lateral percutaneous pins.
The orthopaedic service in Tunisia was opened in 1964 with 100 beds for a population of some five million people. Referrals included patients with Volkmann’s ischaemic contracture or with gangrene of the hand following supracondylar fracture of the humerus treated with the elbow in acute fiexion. It was thus incumbent upon us to develop a reliable method of treatment which would avoid these tra...
متن کاملSupracondylar fractures of the femur in children.
Nonphyseal supracondylar fractures of the femur are considered to be uncommon in children and have received little attention in the literature. A retrospective review of femoral fractures in children at the authors' institution was undertaken to ascertain the incidence of supracondylar femoral fractures, the influence of associated musculoskeletal conditions, and pitfalls of management. In this...
