TREATMENT OF DISPLACED SUPRACONDYLAR HUMERAL FRACTURES IN CHILDREN BY CLOSED • ] REDUCTION AND PERCUTANEOUS PINNING
AHMED ABDELAZEEM ABDELWAHAB;
Abstract
Kallio et al. (1992) reported loss of fixation in eleven of eighty patients in
•
whom only two lateral pins had been used. The loss of fixation was attributed to
technical errors,• such as failure to engage the proximal and distal cortices and • crossing of the pins at the fracture site. They concluded that, although the use of two lateral pins eliminates the risk of injury to the ulnar nerve, it is technically very demanding. However, the technical errors that they described are not specific
to the placement of lateral pins in the distal part of the humerus but are errors that would result in poor fixation of any type of fracture.
