Late results in supracondylar humeral fractures in children

Archives of Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgery, 1985
The end results of supracondylar humeral fractures in 151 children after an average follow-up period of 15 years are presented. The relationship between the carrying angle and the functional result was analyzed. A deformity of the carrying angle was not felt by the patients to be a cosmetic handicap, and the functional results were not problematic ...

Multidirectionally Unstable Supracondylar Humeral Fractures in Children

JBJS Reviews, 2019
» Type-IV supracondylar humeral fracture is a rare pattern that presents with severe instability in both flexion and extension.» These fractures cause considerable difficulty in the achievement and maintenance of reduction by means of pinning with use of closed methods and may result in malalignment and a poor outcome ...

Vascular complications of supracondylar humeral fractures in children

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics B, 2007
The purpose of this study was to analyze the vascular complications of 24 children with supracondylar humeral fractures treated in two affiliated hospitals and to propose a management plan. Exploration and repair of the brachial artery were undertaken in 11 of the 24 cases in which the pulse did not resume following reduction of the fracture.

Supracondylar humeral fractures in children

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 2006
Although supracondylar fracture is a very common elbow injury in childhood, there is no consensus on the timing of surgery, approach for open reduction and positioning of fixation wires. We report our ten-year experience between 1993 and 2003 in 291 children.

Arterial occlusion in juvenile humeral supracondylar fracture

Injury, 1975
Juvenile supracondylar fracture of the humerus is described briefly and divided into two groups: 1. Those cases amenable to safe closed treatment; 2. Those in which occlusion of the brachial artery associated with severe displacement renders closed treatment unsafe. A specific mechanism of entrapment of the brachial artery, which has not been described

Distal Humeral Supracondylar Fractures

2017
Supracondylar fractures of the distal humerus are amenable to closed treatment when patients are able to participate in a splint and bracing program. Operative treatment is facilitated with a fracture-specific supracondylar plate applied posterolaterally.

Paediatric supracondylar humeral fractures: assessment and management

European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology
This paper aims to provide a structured approach to managing supracondylar humerus fractures in the paediatric population, informed by the most recent literature and guidelines. It aims to prepare candidates for the specialist examination in trauma and orthopaedic (e.g.

The Flexion-Type Supracondylar Humeral Fracture in Children

JBJS Reviews, 2019
» A flexion supracondylar fracture of the humerus is an uncommon fracture in children and accounts for only 1% to 10% of all supracondylar fractures.» The injury is caused by a direct fall on the point of the elbow, causing hyperflexion at the elbow, rather than by a fall on an outstretched hand, which is the mechanism in an

Complications of pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures.

Instructional course lectures, 2015
Supracondylar humeral fractures are common in the pediatric population and can result in complications caused by both the injury itself and surgical or nonsurgical treatment. Neurologic complications are frequent, with the anterior interosseous nerve being the most common nerve affected.
