PURPOSE This prospective study aimed to investigate the epidemiologic parameters of supracondylar humeral fractures in children admitted to a teaching institution of a developing country primarily catering to rural population, to find any preventable cause of such injuries. METHODS All suspected cases of supracondylar humeral fracture reporting to emergency or outpatients department were anal...

Aim To evaluate the functional and radiological results of treating unstable volar Barton's fractures of the distal radius with the T-buttress plate. Methods: This was a retrospective study at orthopedic complex in Bahawal Victoria Hospital from January 2009 to August 2010. We used open reduction and internal fixation with a 3.5mmT-buttress plates in volarly displaced, intraarticular fractures ...

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 ...

BACKGROUND Arterial damage is sometimes associated with supracondylar fractures of the humerus. Diagnosis and careful management of the fracture and arterial repair is crucial. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and outcome of supracondylar fractures of the humerus with signs and symptoms of limb ischemia, before and after arterial decompression or arterial recon...

Introduction: Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is most frequently encountered elbow injuries among children that occupies around 60% all in initial ten years life. Trouble reduction and its maintenance, recurrent association neurovascular structures injury are common complications displaced supracondylar fractures.Methods: Around 64 patients with type III fractures were selected who fulfil...

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Distal radius fractures are the most recurrent happening in upper extremity. We conducted a prospective hospital-based clinical study on management of distal with surgical fixation. To assess functional outcome and to effectiveness fixation intra-articular end fractures.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:&...

Purpose: Many standardized outcome measures exist to measure recovery after surgical fixation of distal radius fractures, however, choosing the optimal instrument is difficult. We evaluated responsiveness, ceiling/floor effects, and criterion validity over multiple time intervals across a 2-year follow-up period for six commonly used instruments. Methods: A total 259 patients who received open ...

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical and radiological results of cross-pinning technique (CP) lateral pinning (LP) in pediatric patients operated for supracondylar humerus fracture (SHF).MATERIAL AND METHODS: The medical records undergoing operations an SFH either with crossed-pinning or only pining between years 2017 2019 at same institution were retrospectively reviewed....
