“…The mean patient age was 10.69 (5-14) years. The mean union time was detected to be 12.83 weeks (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). The mean total follow-up period of the patients was 36.5 months (24-144).…”

“…Of all patients, follow-up period, age, fracture union time, gender, leg length difference, and Knee Society Score (KSS) data were analyzed. KSS, which has been first used in adult arthroplasty patients, has also been used to evaluate postoperative functional outcomes in pediatric cases over time [8,11].…”

This study aims to compare the clinical and radiological results of patients who underwent plate-screw fixation and K-wire fixation in supracondylar femur fractures in the pediatric population. Patients aged 5-14 years suffering from supracondylar femoral fractures who underwent K-wire and plate-screw fixation were included in the study. Of all patients, follow-up period, age, fracture union time, gender, leg length discrepancy, and Knee Society Score (KSS) data were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups; fixation with plate (Group A) and fixation with K-wires (Group B). Forty-two patients participated in the study. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, gender, and follow-up time (P > 0.05). When comparing the KSS results, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups (P = 0.612). A statistically significant difference was detected between the two groups regarding union time (P = 0.01). When both groups were analyzed, no significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of functional results. Good results can be obtained in both plate-screw and K-wires in pediatric supracondylar femur fractures.
