Radiographic Assessment in the Treatment of Supracondylar Humerus Fractures in Children

Abstract: Introduction:Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common fractures of the humerus at the elbow in children. The key role belongs to the age and immaturity of the humerus region. Treatment, even today represents the problem of bone and joint surgery. Gartland classification divides these fractures into four types. Analysis of radiographic parameters will serve as an indicator for treatment selection.Goal:To demonstrate the role of radiographic evaluation by measurement of default radiographic parameters… Show more

“…Controversy persists regarding the optimal pin fixation technique 11 Although many configuration of pinning is described in the literature, the two most commonly used configurations are crossed and lateral entry pinning. 5,12 There is a significant risk of iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury during medial pinning in crossed configuration with incidence rate of 0e6%. 13 Whereas, in lateral pinning technique, there is a chance of loss of reduction due to biomechanically less stable, and most common complication of poor or loss of reduction during treatment is cubitus varus with the incidence of 3e57%.…”

“…The general standards for elbow fracture diagnosis include the Baumann angle, lateral humeral line, and humerocondylar angle on X-ray films. [9–11] On radiographs, the transphyseal separation of the distal humerus appears as dislocation-like (Salter-Harris type I) (Fig. 2) or dislocation-like with a metaphyseal fragment slice (Salter-Harris type II) as described by Delee.…”
