BACKGROUND Elbow fractures are one of the most common traumatic fractures in the pediatric population. Since severe complications may occur, appropriate diagnosis and treatment are imperative when dealing with this type of fracture. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiology of elbow fracture in children admitted in Alzahra hospital, Isfahan, IR Iran over a one year per...

INTRODUCTION Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is a common injury in children. It accounts for 60% of fractures around the elbow children. If the fracture is not treated properly it may give rise to many complications like malunion, Volkmann's ischemic contracture, nerve injury, arterial injury, skin slough, heterotopic bone formation , and stiffness of elbow. The management of displaced su...

Abstract Introduction Elbow fractures are the commonest in pediatric age group. The aim of this study is to evaluate epidemiology fresh and neglected elbow a hilly state India with limited health care facility. Materials Methods This was retrospective observational single-center conducted between January 2019 2021. Results Supracondylar most common fracture 58.7% patients followed by lateral co...

BACKGROUND Supracondylar humerus fractures are very common types of elbow fractures in children between the ages of three and ten years. Totally displaced supracondylar humerus fractures can be associated with neurovascular injuries, and treatment can be complicated by iatrogenic neurovascular injury, compartment syndrome, malunion, and elbow stiffness. AIM The aim of this study was to descri...

Background and Objectives: Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most common fracture pattern of the elbow in children. Severely displaced supracondylar fractures of the distal humerus in children are a challenging problems. Many treatment methods have been described for the treatment of displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus, however, it has not been reached a consensus for ...

We tested the hypothesis that children who sustain a supracondylar fracture have a greater range of elbow hyperextension than those with a fracture of the distal radius. Three observers made 358 measurements in 183 children (114 boys and 69 girls). There were 119 fractures of the distal radius and 64 supracondylar fractures. Initially, the group with a supracondylar fracture appeared to have ex...

Background: Supracondylar humeral fracture is probably the most common elbow in children requiring surgical intervention. We observed a subtype of pediatric supracondylar with sideward translation, without substantial displacement sagittal plane on initial radiographs. The purpose this study was to calculate incidence and suggest modification standard operative technique, achieve desired alignm...

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...

background supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common elbow injury that requires reduction and immobilization in the proper position to :union:. there are a few reports regarding the position of the forearm immobilization on elbow cosmetic outcome. objectives this study aimed to compare two modes of the forearm, supination and pronation in elbow deformity incidence after closed re...

Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most common fracture pattern of the elbow in children. Severely displaced supracondylar fractures of the distal humerus in children are challenging problems. Many treatment methods have been described for the treatment of displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus, however, it has not been reached a consensus for the choice of the treatment. ...
