Results of treatment of displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children by K-wiring.
The supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children remains the most challenging injury for the orthopedic surgeon. It is important to consider the options of treatment very carefully and tailor the treatment according to the characteristics of each fracture. In this study we observed outcomes of surgical procedures using the Kirschner-wire for the dislocated (displaced) supracondylar fractur...
متن کاملFlexion-Type Supracondylar Humeral Fractures
Background: The vast majority of displaced pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures can be treated successfully with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. The need for open reduction is difficult to determine a priori and is typically due to the failure of closed reduction attempts or persistent limb ischemia. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of flexion-type supraco...
متن کاملHumeral Supracondylar Fractures in Children: A Novel Technique of Lateral External Fixation and Kirschner Wiring
Introduction: Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common fracture around the elbow in children. Pinning with Kirschner wires (K-wires) after open or closed reduction is generally accepted as the primary treatment modality. However, it comes with the risk of persistent instability and if the K-wire is not inserted properly, it may cause displacement and varus deformity. We present ...
متن کاملPercutaneous K-wiring for Gartland type III supracondylar humerus fractures in children.
OBJECTIVE To assess the ability of closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation, to obtain and maintain an adequate reduction, and thereby achieve satisfactory end results. METHODS A prospective study conducted on 60 children over 28 months at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India, from March 2003 to June 2005, in which Gartland type-III supracondyla...
متن کاملA 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...
