194 children with supracondylar fractures of the humerus were reviewed. Of the 49 children with Gartland grade III displacement, signs of vascular compromise were clinically suspected in 5 cases. Immediate open reduction, internal fixation and exploration were performed. Four children had a satisfactory outcome. One child required amputation. A careful clinical evaluation for vascular injury an...

This was a retrospective observational study. The aim of this study was to evaluate functional outcomes in children treated for Gartland III supracondylar humerus (SCH) fracture with neurovascular (NV) injuries using validated outcome measures. A secondary goal was to determine whether clinical parameters such as age at injury, sex, weight, fracture site, and/or direction of displacement could ...

We study the spherical droplet problem in 3D Landau–de Gennes theory with finite temperature. By rigorously constructing biaxial–ring solutions and split–core–segment solutions, we theoretically confirm numerical results of Gartland–Mkaddem [15]. The structures disclinations are also addressed.

HYPOTHESIS The modified Gartland classification system for pediatric supracondylar fractures is often utilized as a communication tool to aid in determining whether or not a fracture warrants operative intervention. This study sought to determine the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the Gartland classification system, as well as to determine whether there was agreement that a frac...

A closed reduction technique using a posteriorly inserted intrafocal Kirschner wire for unstable Gartland type-III supracondylar humeral fractures in children is described. This surgical technique has been used in 7 patients. None had neurovascular complications, and all achieved bone union and had good or excellent functional and cosmetic results.

INTRODUCTION Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning are the most widely used treatment options for displaced supracondylar humerus fractures in children, but there is still no consensus concerning the most preferred technique in injuries of the extension type. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare three common orthopaedic procedures in the treatment of displaced extension type sup...

PURPOSE Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most common fracture of the elbow in children. The purpose of this study was to evaluate, in terms of outcomes and complications, Gartland type III pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures treated at a pediatric level-one trauma center over a 7-year period, specifically addressing the impact of time to surgery on the incidence of complicat...
