Humeral 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 کاملTransolecranon and lateral Kirschner wire fixation for displaced supracondylar humeral fracture in children.
PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome after closed reduction and pinning using a Kirschner wire inserted laterally and another inserted vertically through the olecranon for displaced supracondylar humeral fractures. METHODS 39 boys and 11 girls aged 2 to 12 (mean, 7.27) years underwent closed reduction and pinning using a Kirschner wire inserted laterally and another inserted vertically through the...
متن کاملLateral external fixation--a new surgical technique for displaced unreducible supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation represents the classic treatment for displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in childhood. This type of treatment first requires satisfactory reduction of the fracture. Failure to achieve a satisfactory reduction or inadequate stabilization can result in instability of the fracture fragments, which can result in either an unsatisfactory cosmetic...
متن کاملLateral Entry Fixation Using Three Divergent Pins for Displaced Paediatric Supracondylar Humeral Fractures
Background. Supracondylar fractures are the commonest elbow injury in children. Most displaced supracondylar fractures are manipulated and held with a medial/lateral entry or two lateral Kirschner wires. This clinical study has results purely from a three lateral divergent wire technique. Methods. Displaced supracondylar fractures were manipulated closed and three lateral divergent wires insert...
متن کاملSupracondylar Humeral Fracture in Children: Management by Percutaneous Lateral-entry Pin Fixation
This case series was conducted at the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, from January 2007 to June 2008 to assess the outcome of two percutaneous lateral-entry pins in the operative management of supracondylar humeral fractures. The study included management of Type II and III displaced supracondylar humeral fractures according to Wilkins’s modification...
