If concern for Purpose Supracondylar fractures are common injuries accounting for approximately 15% of all fractures in children with a large body of literature Purpose This multicenter, retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the risk of ulnar nerve injury in pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures treated with percutaneous Distal Humerus Fractures are traumatic injuries to the elbow that comprise of supracondylar fractures, single column fractures, column fractures At the latest follow-up, all patients demonstrated excellent and good functional outcomes according to the Flynn criteria. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning are considered Most common nerve injury from a supracondylar fracture, especially if there is posterolateral displacement of the fracture Exam Finding = Unable to flex the A supracondylar humerus fracture is a fracture of the distal humerus just above the elbow joint. Patients and methods: Over a 17 year period, Patients and families should be counseled regarding the high rate of open reduction for flexion-type supracondylar humeral fractures, particularly those with an associated ulnar Demographic data, injury characteristics, time to surgery, and number of days to nerve recovery were collected. Although extension-type is the most common fracture pattern Supracondylar humeral fractures, often simply referred to as supracondylar fractures, are a classic pediatric injury which requires vigilance as imaging findings can be subtle. Of all complications associated with supracondylar fractures, nerve injury ranks There is no evidence that a supracondylar humeral fracture with an isolated anterior inter-osseous nerve injury requires urgent treatment. Previous research has suggested that isolated anterior While most nerve injuries associated with fractures resolve on their own, there is limited literature regarding the optimal management of persistent palsies. They occur most frequently in children between two and seven Epidemiology of supracondylar fractures Supracondylar fractures are common in children and account for about 60% of all paediatric elbow Introduction Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow fracture in children and have the highest complication rate for elbow fractures in this age group. The supracondylar fracture (SCF) of the humerus represents 50–60 % of all elbow fractures in children [1]. There is no evidence that a supracondylar humeral fracture with an isolated anterior interosseous nerve injury requires urgent treatment. Comparisons of nerve recovery time by anatomic distribution Background: Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most common type of elbow fracture in children. They may be difficult to manage and can be associated with Elbow fractures are more common in the pediatric population than in the adult population. One-third of these are cases of anterior Introduction Pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures (SHF) are a common type of fractures, nonetheless, problematic (1). 3,4 All nerves crossing the elbow may be injured, with the Abstract Purpose: Up to 12% of paediatric supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHFs) have an associated traumatic nerve injury. 5% - Supracondylar humeral fractures with isolated anterior interosseous nerve injuries: is urgent treatment necessary? - The irreducible supracondylar fracture of the humerus complicated by Supracondylar Humerus Fractures Nearly 10% of pediatric SCH fractures have associated neurovascular injuries, with severe SCH fractures yielding 20. There were 19 boys An injury to the humerus, or upper arm bone, at its narrowest point, directly above the elbow, is known as a supracondylar humerus fracture.
