Abstract
Background: The common pediatric injuries around elbow are supracondylar fractures of humerus. Some of them are displaced - Gartland2 and 3. These fracturesmay causecomplications like deformities and neurovascular problems without reduction and fixation. Percutaneous pinning with crossed k-wires show good results among different method used for treatment.
Method:40 patients between the age groups 2 -10 years were treated with percutaneous pinning with crossed kirschner wires, after closed reduction under guidance of image intensifier(C-ARM). These patient come under Gartland 2&3 according to classification and treated between 2012-2015. The fractures are around seven days old. Flynn’s criteria used for assessing clinical results.
Results: The age groups 2 -10 years were treated with mean age- 5 years. The follow-up duration 2-4 years-mean2 years. The outcomes were assed with Flynn`s criteria and found to be excellent in 28, good in 10, fair in 1,poor in 1.
Conclusion: Percutaneous pinning with crossed k-wires show good results among different method used for treatment for Gartland 2&3 supracondylar fractures in paediatric age.
