Supracondylar Humeral Fractures

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Distal humeral fractures are one of the most common types of fractures in children, most of them being supracondylar. Supracondylar fractures are usually caused by trauma, most likely falls. It is an emergency, requiring rapid diagnosis and management to avoid serious complications. Recommended treatment modalities vary from no reduction and immobilization to open reduction and internal fixation. Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation of displaced supracondylar fractures after closed reduction is a preferred method and is being performed for over 50 years now. This study was conducted to determine the functional outcome of crossed K-wire fixation in pediatric supracondylar fracture.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This prospective study was conducted from May-November 2018 at the department of Orthopedics, Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan. It was inferred that functional outcome of pediatric displaced supracondylar humeral fractures is satisfactory when managed with percutaneous crossed K-wire fixation. It included 83 children with supracondylar fractures. They were treated with percutaneous crossed K-wire fixation. Patients were then followed up to determine satisfactory functional outcome according to Flynn’s criteria. Data entry and analysis was done using SPSS 21.0.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Eight-three patients were included. The mean±standard deviation age of this study population was 7.03±3.39 years. Out of the study participants, 47 (56.6%) were males and 36 (43.4%) were females. 71.1% of the patients were of Gartland class II fractures and 28.9% were of Gartland class III. 43.4% had an injury due to fall while playing while 19.3% had fallen from height. 80.7% were found to have a satisfactory functional outcome.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> It was inferred that the functional outcome of pediatric displaced supracondylar humeral fractures is satisfactory when managed with percutaneous crossed K-wire fixation.</p>

Background: To evaluate radiological and functional outcome in fractures of the distal radius treated by K-wire fixation.Methods: Forty patients (16 males, 24 females) with different types of fractures of distal radius were treated. K-wire fixation was performed under axillary bolock or general anaesthesia. Anatomical  restoration was evaluated by postero-anterior and lateral radiographs obtained preoperatively and at 09 months of follow up to evaluate Radial Height (RH), Radial Inclination (RI) and Volar Tilt (VT). Functional outcome was evaluated using Mayo scoring system.Results: According to Mayo score 72.5% (n=29) of our patients had excellent to good outcome while as 17.5% (n=7) had fair outcome and 10% (n=4) patients had poor outcome.Conclusions: Kirschner wire fixation is an inexpensive procedure that  provides anatomic  reduction,  fracture  fixation,  and maintenance  of  reduction  with  an  adequate method of  immobilization.

The Mean

The aim of this study was to compare two joint sparing Kirschner-wire fixation techniques for displaced proximal phalangeal neck fractures. Forty-six patients with proximal phalangeal neck fractures managed by either percutaneous antegrade flexible intramedullary nailing (Group I) or crossed Kirschner-wires (Group II) were recruited for a randomized prospective comparative study. Clinical and radiological assessment of all patients was done in addition to the Kang scoring system, Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand score and total active motion. The mean time for radiological union for both groups was 5.8 weeks. The mean postoperative total active motion, Kang and the Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand scores were better in Group I patients, but without any statistically significant differences. Closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner-wire fixation by a joint sparing approach will yield good functional results with no or minimal complications in proximal phalangeal neck fractures. Level of evidence: II
