Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning in Displaced Supracondylar Humerus Fractures in Children

Abstract

BACKGROUNDDisplaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children are common paediatric injuries treated by orthopaedic surgeons. Literature is very clear that these fractures should be reduced and fixed in optimal position to avoid complications like neurovascular injuries and residual deformity. Of the various methods available for the treatment of these fractures, closed reduction and percutaneous pinning has shown improved results.
