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...

BACKGROUND Although closed reduction and percutaneous pinning is accepted as the treatment of choice for displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus, there are some debates on the pinning techniques, period of immobilization, elbow range of motion (ROM) exercise, and perceptions on the restoration of elbow ROM. This study was to investigate the consensus and different perspectives on the tr...

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 posterio...

This study was conducted on 12 cats with 11 supracondylar femur fractures and one distal diaphyseal fracture. Fracture properties, operation details, postoperative complications, radiographic images of the cases were recorded. The in classified according to Salter‐Harris, they determined as type I 1, Type II 7, IV 3 them. Dynamic intramedullary cross pinning technique applied patients Salter‐Ha...

BACKGROUND The Study and Research Group in Pediatric Orthopedics-2012 initated this retrospective study due to the fact that in Romania and in other countries, the numerous procedures do not ensure the physicians a definite point of view related to the therapeutic criteria in the treatment of supracondylar fractures. That is why the number of complications and their severity brought into notice...

This study evaluated forearm compartment pressures in 29 children with supracondylar humerus fractures. Pressures were measured before and after reduction in the dorsal, superficial volar, and deep volar compartments at the proximal 1/6th and proximal 1/3rd forearm. Pressures in the deep volar compartment were significantly elevated compared with pressures in other compartments. There were also...

The care of children has been integral in the historic development of orthopedics as a surgical special‐ ty. Formal fellowship training of pediatric orthopedists, however, only began in the late 1970s. Many orthopedic generalists provide emergency orthopedic care for children, and when on call, much of their charge is to determine the triage and treatment of traumatic injuries. This article wil...
