soft tissue abnormality. Radiographs are unnecessary unless another particular injury is suspected. Edema and tenderness are present with supracondylar fractures. A number of reduction techniques are used, including the hyperpronation method and the supination-flexion method. The hyperpronation method has proved more effective and appears to be less traumatic. With the arm held in extension, th...

PURPOSE To evaluate the intra- and inter-observer reproducibility of the Gartland radiographic classification for supracondylar humeral fractures in children. METHODS Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of 50 supracondylar humeral fractures in children were graded on 2 separate occasions by 4 orthopaedic surgeons according to the Wilkins modification of the Gartland classification. Data w...

Background: Supracondylar fractures are one of the most frequent pediatric bone fractures. There well-known treatments for this fracture. The commonly used procedure is closed percutaneous reduction pinning, and open internal fixation irreducible This study aims to evaluate review those two procedures in treating a supracondylar humeral fracture children by evaluating clinical functional outcom...

PURPOSE Fractures of the medial humeral epicondyle represent approximately 10% of all pediatric elbow fractures. Surgically treated pediatric fractures of the medial humeral epicondyle were analyzed retrospectively for their epidemiological, clinical, radiological and surgical parameters. The evaluation includes the Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS). METHODS Twenty-five surgically treated f...

background: supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the second most common fracture in children. for most cases closed reduction and percutaneous crossed pinning is recommended. those patients who had previously undergone an unsuccessful closed reduction trial need open reduction and pin fixation, but the best surgical approach is questionable. most surgeons apply the technique of posterior or...

Background: Environmental conditions are effective on childhood supracondylar humerus fractures. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between weather and these Materials Methods: We started this study following approval of a non-interventional research ethics committee. Patients (and July 2018 with supracondylar humerus fractures were included in study. The hospital’s PROBEL system ...

While the majoriy of pediatric elbow dislocations are associated with a medial epicondyle fracture, an intra-articular incarecerated is rare complication closed reduction. Elbow incarceration in joint have typically been considered absolute indication for surgical intervention. There few described reduction techniques incarcerated fractures and manipulation often unsuccessful according to liter...

OBJECTIVE To conduct a descriptive analysis on 31 cases of children with floating elbow who were attended at our clinic between 1994 and 2009, and to review the literature relating to this topic. METHODS Data were obtained through examining the medical records. The following variables were used: age, gender, side, mechanism, type of fracture, classification, treatment and complications. RES...
