Increased pin diameter improves torsional stability in supracondylar humerus fractures: an experimental study.
BACKGROUND Pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow fractures seen in children, and account for 16 % of all pediatric fractures. Closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation is the current treatment technique of choice for displaced supracondylar fractures of the distal humerus in children. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pin diameter affects the ...
متن کاملMulticenter Study of Pin Site Infections and Skin Complications Following Pinning of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures
INTRODUCTION Pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow fractures in pediatric patients. Surgical fixation using pins is the primary treatment for displaced fractures. Pin site infections may follow supracondylar humerus fracture fixation; the previously reported incidence rate in the literature is 2.34%, but there is significant variability in reported incidence rates ...

متن کامل[Supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children].
Supracondylar fractures of the humerus were treated in 50 children over a six-year period. Patient age ranged from 2 to 15 years; 58% of the children were between 5 and 8 years of age. Our data agreed with the literature regarding left-sided predominance, usual age at injury, greater incidence in boys, and the infrequency of open and anteriorly displaced fractures. Our data differed from the li...
متن کاملTreatment of displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children by a pin leverage technique.
This study aimed to evaluate the use of pin leverage in the reduction of Gartland type III supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children. The study comprised 95 children, who were split into three groups according to the type of method of reduction used. Group 1, had an open reduction, group 2, had closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation and group 3, the pin leverage technique. Each...
