Pediatric Supracondylar Fracture of the Humerus with Sideward Displacement

Background: Supracondylar humeral fracture is probably the most common elbow in children requiring surgical intervention. We observed a subtype of pediatric supracondylar with sideward translation, without substantial displacement sagittal plane on initial radiographs. The purpose this study was to calculate incidence and suggest modification standard operative technique, achieve desired alignment fixation. Methods: reviewed clinical records radiographs all patients fractures surgically treated our institution between years 2006 2014. types, fixation configuration any complications were recorded. Results: Overall, 263 consecutive included. humerus solely 6%. characterized clinically radiographically. proposed technique for successful closed reduction percutaneous pinning. Conclusions: Special attention subtype, including appropriate operating room setup application suitable pinning has potential results avoid need open reduction.
