Summary

This study compares the efficacy of K wire when inserted in Cross V/s Lateral Direction in Supracondylar fractures of Gartland Type 3 in children. A comparative study.

Detailed description

This is a randomized control trial being done to compare the efficacy of Cross V/S Laterally Placed K wire In Supracondylar fractures to calculate and copmpare the Post K wire iinsertion range of motion . It is also intended to calculate the frequency of loss of reduction after lateral K wire in terms of Skaggs Criteria . This study intends to find the better method of K wire fixatio to avoid the post fixation loss of reduction.

Conditions

• Gartland Type 3 Supracondylar Fracture

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Cross K Wire Fixation	In this intervention the K wire will be fixed in a Manner of Cross at the site of frature.
PROCEDURE	Lateral K wire Fixation	In this arm of intervention the K wire will be fixed laterally at the site of fracture.
