Delayed Revision Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning of a Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fracture: A Case Report

Abstract

Supracondylar humerus fractures (SCH) are the most prevalent elbow fractures in the pediatric age group. Delay in treatment poses challenges and an elevated risk of complications. We describe a case of revision for postoperative malalignment with closed reduction percutaneous pinning with good clinical outcomes. Malunion complications in SCH can be minimized with early intervention in cases of postoperative displacement. Careful use of technical skills can help with closed reduction in cases with delayed presentation.
