Preoperative vascular assessment of patients with a supracondylar humeral fracture and a perfused, pulseless limb [PDF]

open access: yesBone and Joint Journal, 2023
The 'pink, pulseless hand' is often used to describe the clinical situation in which a child with a supracondylar fracture of the humerus has normal distal perfusion in the absence of a palpable peripheral pulse.

Supracondylar Humeral Fractures in Children

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2008
Operative fixation is indicated for most type-II and III supracondylar humeral fractures in order to prevent malunion. Medial comminution is a subtle finding that, if treated nonoperatively, is likely to lead to unacceptable varus malunion. Angiography is not indicated for a pulseless limb, as it delays fracture reduction, which usually corrects the ...

Concept of treatment in supracondylar humeral fractures

Injury, 2005
This opinion of treatment for children's supracondylar humeral fractures discusses techniques of fracture reduction and stabilization. A useful method of external visualization of the fracture is reviewed. The article discusses the treatment of 95 fractures in children using crossed and two lateral pin techniques.

Supracondylar humeral fractures in children

The Bone & Joint Journal, 2013
Supracondylar humeral fractures are common in children, but there are no classification systems or radiological parameters that predict the likelihood of having to perform an open reduction. In a retrospective case–control study we evaluated the use of the medial spike angle and fracture tip–skin distance to predict the mode of reduction (closed or ...

Paediatric humeral supracondylar fractures

Surgery (Oxford), 2018
Abstract The supracondylar humeral fracture is the most common elbow fracture in children, accounting for just under one-fifth of all paediatric fractures and 60% of paediatric elbow fractures. Modifications of the Gartland classification have been made over the years. The mainstay treatment option is that of closed reduction and percutaneous wiring.

Supracondylar Fractures of the Humerous in Children

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1991
Supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children were studied in Kuopio University Central Hospital during 1974-1984. The total number of the fractures was 86. Fifty-two patients were examined 13 months to 11 years after the accident. Only severe cases (grade 3 and 4 after Holmberg's classification) were included.

Management of the Pulseless Pediatric Supracondylar Humeral Fracture

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery - Series A, 2015
A pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture with a pulseless, poorly perfused hand requires emergency operative reduction. If the limb remains pulseless and poorly perfused after fracture fixation, vascular exploration and possible reconstruction is necessary.

Effect of deferred treatment of supracondylar humeral fractures

The Surgeon, 2010
Timing of surgery remains a controversial topic in the treatment of the supracondylar humeral fracture. In our institution, patients are not brought to theatre after midnight, except in the 'life or limb' situation. We hypothesised that time to surgery has no significant influence on complication rate with supracondylar fracture of the humerus.A ...

[Supracondylar humeral fractures in childhood].

Der Unfallchirurg, 2020
The classification of supracondylar humeral fractures in German-speaking areas is carried out according to von Laer, which has been appropriated from the AO system and has the advantage that it can be used to derive the treatment. When indicated immediate surgery is given preference over a delayed treatment. The result is controlled by functional tests
