Summary
The objective of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to evaluate and compare the outcome of the 2wire vs 3 wire crossed pin configurations in the management of supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
Detailed description
Fortyfive children with supracondylar humeral fractures were randomly divided into two groups. One group was treated with 2 crossed pins and the other group with 3 crossed pins. The mean age was 6.04±2.49 (1-12).. The follow-up period was 5 years, with no patients lost to follow up. Intervention: Twentytwo patients were managed by 2 crossed and 23 by 3 crossed pin method. All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon. Main Outcome Measurements: Postoperative stability, ulnar nerve injury, range of motions, and pin tract infections were evaluated.
