Closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation is considered
standard management for displaced supracondylar fractures of the
humerus in children. However, controversy exists regarding whether
to use pins from the lateral side or medial and latera
l side of the
elbow for fixation .
We performed this research to know the results of two ways of
treatment and to compare : 1- the risk of iatrogenic ulnar nerve
injury caused by pin fixation . 2- quality of fracture reduction in
terms of radiographic outcomes . 3- compare function of the elbow
and other surgical complications caused by pin fixation between two
ways.
