Abstract

Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes of minimal anterior approach and thumb assisted technique, in children with Gartland type III supracondylar humerus fracture, who were operated by this technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty two children with Gartland type III supracondylar fractures of the humerus with severe swelling were taken up for minimal open reduction and K-wire fixation. The technique used was a minimal incision in the cubital fossa and thumb assisted reduction of the fracture. Stabilization of fractures was done with 1.6 mm Kirschner wires. RESULTS: The outcomes were excellent in 40 cases good in 2 cases. No complications including malunion or scar contracture were seen. CONCLUSION: This technique is safe, effective and can be used for irreducible, displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children
Key words: Hemerus, Displaced supracondylar fracture, Minimal anteromedial incision
