Summary

The purpose of this study was to compare pin configuration effects on early secondary displacement in the surgical treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures (SCHF).

Detailed description

The study consisted of 100 (68M, 32F) children who underwent surgery between 2010 and 2013 for Gartland Type 3 (SCHF). The patients divided into five groups according to the top in configurations (crossed 1 lateral 1 medial, crossed 2 lateral 1 medial, crossed 1 lateral 2 medial, 2 lateral divergent, and 3 lateral divergent). The average age at the time of injury was 7.34 (between 2 and 14 years). Bauman angle (BA), Humerocapital angle (HCA), Anterior humeral line (AHL), flexion range, extension range, and Carrying angle (CA) were compared at preoperative, postoperative 1st-day, postoperative last control, and non-operated side. The mean follow-up time 24,96±11,06 with a range of 12-54 months.

Conditions

• Supracondylar Humerus Fracture
• Pediatric Fractures

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Pediatric Garthland Type 3 supracondylar humeral fractures fixed by K-wires	The effects of the different types of K-wire configuration on Pediatric Gartland Type 3 supracondylar humeral fractures were evaluated. Pediatric Gartland Type 3 supracondylar humeral fractures operated under general anesthesia with open or closed reduction. After reduction checked by fluoroscopy K-wires applied in different configurations.
