Supracondylar Humerus Fractures

Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are common in children and the advocated treatments for these fractures include closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. There are numerous debates on the intervention period selection for delayed treatment in children. This phenomenon is prevalent in regions with limited healthcare support. The objective of this study was to compare the outcome of early and late treatment groups, including preliminary presentations and the management of failed treatment. This was a prospective comparative study on early and late open reduction, featuring Kirschner wire fixation for Gartland type III supracondylar fracture of humerus in children aged less than 18 years. Patients from January 2018 to January 2019 were categorized into early and late groups (n=22 and n=26), consisting of 33 (86.8%) males and 15 (31.25%) females. Flynn’s criteria were used to evaluate them. The average time from injury to surgery was 50.24±23.5 hours in the early group and 373.79±89.23 hours in the late group (p<0.002). While the Bauman’s angle recorded after 12 weeks presented the values of 82.04 ± 5.18 and 77.38±6.43 (p=0.622) for the early and late groups, respectively. Pre-operative nerve injuries were observed only in 4 (8.33%) cases from the early group. The functional outcomes of both categories were not significantly different statistically (p=0.242). The outcome for children with supracondylar humerus fracture Gartland type III was satisfactory in both groups. In conclusion, treatment delay does not result in a difference in the outcome according to Flynn's criteria.

Introduction. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning are the most widely used treatment options for displaced supracondylar humerus fractures in children, but there is still no consensus concerning the most preferred technique in injuries of the extension type. Objective. The aim of this study was to compare three common orthopaedic procedures in the treatment of displaced extension type supracondylar humerus fractures in children. Methods. Total of 93 consecutive patients (66 boys and 27 girls) referred to our hospital with Gartland type II or III extension supracondylar humeral fractures were prospectively included in the study over a six-year period. At initial presentation 48 patients were classified as Gartland type II and 45 as Gartland type III fractures. The patients were subdivided into three groups based on the following treatment modality: closed reduction with percutaneous pinning, open reduction with Kirschner wires (K-wires) fixation, and closed reduction with cast immobilisation. The treatment outcome and clinical characteristics were compared among groups, as well as evaluated using Flynn?s criteria. Results. Excellent clinical outcome was reported in 70.3% of patients treated with closed reduction with percutaneous pinning and in 64.7% of patients treated with open reduction with K-wire fixation. The outcome was significantly worse in children treated with closed reduction and cast immobilisation alone, as excellent outcome is achieved in just 36.4% of cases (p=0.011). Conclusion. Closed reduction with percutaneous pinning is the method of choice in the treatment of displaced pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture, while open reduction with K-wire fixation is as a good alternative in cases with clear indications.

Abstract Background: Lateral condylar humerus fractures (LCHFs) are the second most common fractures in children. Open reduction and internal fixation is recommended for fractures displaced by more than 4 mm. Few studies described using closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) for treating fractures with greater displacements. This study aims to explore the feasibility of CRPP in treating displaced LCHFs. Methods: All patients underwent attempted CRPP first. Once a satisfying reduction was obtained, as determined using fluoroscopy based on the relative anatomical position of the fragments, an intraoperative arthrogram was performed to further confirm the congruence of the articular surface of the distal humerus. Open reduction and fixation are necessary to ensure a fracture gap less than 2.0 mm both on anteroposterior view and oblique internal rotational view by fluoroscopy. All included fractures were treated by a single pediatric surgeon.Results: Forty-six patients were included, 29 boys and 17 girls, with an average age of 5.2 years. Of these, 22/28 (78%) Jakob type II fractures and 14/18 (78%) Jakob type III fractures were treated with CRPP. All cases in Song stages II and III, 19/25 (76%) cases in Song stage IV, and 14/18 (78%) cases of Song stage Ⅴ were treated with CRPP. The remaining converted to open reduction with internal fixation. Overall, 36 of the 46 patients (78%) were treated with CRPP. The average pre-op displacement was 7.2 mm, and the average post-op displacement was 1.1 mm on the anteroposterior or oblique internal rotational radiograph in cases treated with CRPP. CRPP was performed in an average of 37 minutes. The average casting period was 4 weeks and the average time of pin removal was 6 weeks postoperatively. The average time of follow-up was 4 months. All patients achieved union, regardless of closed or open reduction. No infection, delayed union, cubitus varus or valgus, osteonecrosis of the trochlea or capitellum, or pain were recorded during follow-up. Conclusions: Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning effectively treats LCHFs with displacement more than 4 mm. More than 3/4 of Song stage V or Jakob type III patients can avoid an incision.
