Abstract |
Purpose To evaluate and compare the results of children with displaced supracondylar fractures of humerus treated with open reduction and pinning with closed reduction and pinning . Materials and Methods: From March 2002, we treated 17 patients with completely displaced supracondylar fractures under the age of 7 with a minimal follow up period of 6 months. 9 patients were treated with closed reduction and pinning and 8 patients were treated with open reduction and pinning. The clinical results were evaluated with Flynn’s criteria. Time to bone union was also analyzed for these two set of patients. Results: The group treated with open reduction had 6 excellent and 2 good results for change in carrying angles, 5 excellent, 2 good and 1 fair results for motion loss evaluated by Flynn’s criteria. The average time to bony union for this group was 5.8 weeks. The group treated with closed reduction had 6 excellent, 2 good, and 1 fair results for change in carrying angles and 7 excellent, 1 good and 1 fair results for motion loss. The average time to bony uinon for this group was 3.7 weeks. Conclusion: In treating completely displaced supracondylar fractures of humerus in children, the closed reduction method and open reduction method all showed good results . But the operation time, duration of hospital stay and time to union was somewhat shorter for the patients treated with closed redution and pinning. |
