A Retrospective Study Comparing Crossed and Lateral Wire Configurations in Paediatric Supracondylar Fractures

Abstract: Background:Supracondylar fractures are common in children and are associated with significant morbidity.The purpose of our study was to assess and compare the clinical and radiological outcome of management of supracondylar fractures by both wire configurations, along with identifying factors that predispose to complications.Materials & Methods:We retrospectively reviewed all paediatric cases admitted with a supracondylar fracture over a five year period. We reviewed case notes, theatre records and radiographs… Show more

“…Although previous studies agreed that crossed KW is the most stable pin configuration, iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury incidence is still highly observed in these groups (23,24). In some cases, medial mini-incision is used to prevent iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury (25).…”

“…Supracondylar fractures are common in children and are associated with significant morbidity. 1 Supracondylar fractures of the humerus represent 50-70% of all elbow fracture in children in the first decade of life. Current method of treatment of this fracture is based on Gartland classification.…”
