INTRODUCTION: This study aims to compare conventional radiography (X-ray) and computed tomography (CT) on diagnosis, operation plan, hospitalization of patients with isolated extremity trauma admitted the emergency department (ED). MATERIAL AND METHODS: was designed retrospectively. Patients involving extremities presenting a tertiary ED between January 2019 2020 for twelve months who underwent...

It is unclear whether there is a limit to the amount of distal bone required to support fixation of supracondylar periprosthetic femoral fractures. This retrospective multicentre study evaluated lateral locked plating of periprosthetic supracondylar femoral fractures and compared the results according to extension of the fracture distal with the proximal border of the femoral prosthetic compone...

Objective: While surgical treatment is the most accepted method for displaced supracondylar humerus fractures in children, there little data about immobilization after surgery. The aim of study to determine whether any difference preventing loss reduction between long-arm cast and splint following pediatric fracture Patients Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis patients with treated o...

Supracondylar intercondylar distal femur fractures are devastating injuries that frequently have a concurrent coronal plane fracture, which mandates dedicated operative fixation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether small-fragment cortical lag screws oriented in the sagittal plane were sufficient to stabilize coronal plane fractures associated with supracondylar intercondylar dist...

We present a method of manipulative reduction, immobilisation and fixation using a U-shaped plaster with the elbow in extension for extension-type supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children. When the elbow is in full extension, both the extensor and the flexor muscles are neutralised during manipulative reduction and the carrying angle can be easily assessed thus preventing cubitus varu...

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...

Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are most common traumatic elbow injury in children. Several techniques described their support. Blount’s method is one widely used orthopedic means. The objective our study was to evaluate results supracondylar treated by this department. This a descriptive, longitudinal with prospective collection over period 12 months from May 2018 April 2019. It focused...

  Abstract   The supracondylar process is a beak-like bony projection that arises from the anteromedial   surface of the humerus. The process has rarely been associated with   compression of the median nerve and seldom requires treatment. We report a case   of a supracondylar process that caused tenting of the median nerve with elbow extension   and pronation.  

CRIF with K-wire fixation is the treatment of choice in fractures suprracondylar humerus children. The study was done thirty patient to evaluate outcome percutaneous lateral pinning using k wire. Thirty case displaced fracture supracondylar children managed k- average age group 7.4 year (minimum 5year and maximun-13year year). immobilised for three weeks. Follow up at 3, 6, 9.12.24 week all com...

We have reviewed 12 cases of fracture-separation of the distal humeral epiphysis, three of which were initially misdiagnosed as fractures of the lateral condyle and one as an elbow dislocation. Cubitus varus deformity is as common after this fracture-separation as it is following supracondylar fracture, and is most common in children under two years of age. Closed reduction and simple immobilis...
