BACKGROUND Supracondylar fracture of humerus is the most common fracture in first decade of life. There are various treatment modalities for this fracture i.e closed reduction and casting, open reduction and internal fixation and percutaneous pinning. Study was conducted to know the outcome of Percutaneous Pinning in the management of displaced supracondylar fracture of humerus in children. M...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to present functional results and patient's health related quality of life (HRQOL) data ten years after volar locked plate fixation (VPF) of unstable intra-articular distal radial fractures (DRF). METHODS Thirty-nine patients with a mean age of sixty-one years were operatively treated with VPF after intra-articular distal radial fractures. They were evaluated two, ...

In this study, we aim to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of children who were treated with four different surgical approaches. In our clinics between February 2004 and November 2012, the children who underwent surgical treatment for supracondylar humeral fractures and whose data were available with regular follow-up of at least 1 year were included in the study. Clinical outcomes...

OBJECTIVE To assess the ability of closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation, to obtain and maintain an adequate reduction, and thereby achieve satisfactory end results. METHODS A prospective study conducted on 60 children over 28 months at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India, from March 2003 to June 2005, in which Gartland type-III supracondyla...

PURPOSES Fractures of the distal radius are extremely common in adults. However, the optimal management remains controversial, especially in AO type C2-3 (Type23 C2 or C3 of distal radial fracture, according to AO classifications). The purpose of this study was to compare the results of the volar locking compression plate (VLCP) and percutaneous Kirschner-wires combined with external fixation (...

This study investigates the efficacy of the AO Pi-plate in the treatment of complex, intra-articular fractures of the distal radius. We retrospectively analysed the clinical and radiological results of 19 consecutive patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for dorsally displaced, intra-articular fractures of the distal radius using the AO Pi-plate. The final functional outco...

..Objective: To assess the radiological and functional outcome of external fixator in the treatment of intar-articular fractures of distal radius. Study design: Descriptive case series. Place and duration of study: Orthopaedic unit District Headquarter Hospital Temargarha Lower Dir from March 2013 to March 2014. Material and methods: Twenty five patients of intra-articular fracture distal radiu...

This study aimed to evaluate the use of pin leverage in the reduction of Gartland type III supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children. The study comprised 95 children, who were split into three groups according to the type of method of reduction used. Group 1, had an open reduction, group 2, had closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation and group 3, the pin leverage technique. Each...
