Closed Pinning for Paediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures : A Minimally invasive & Novel approach to Supracondylar Humerus Fractures in Children

Bok av Goel Siddharth
Paediatric Supracondylar fractures are still a challenge to Orthopaedic Surgeons due to their high complication rate. These complications may range from Malunion to limb threatening Compatrment Syndrome or even Gangrene. So emergent and optimal treatment is the key to successful outcome. Considering all these in mind, Closed Pinning has proved to be a best modality of treatment for displaced Supracondylar fractures of Humerus in children. This is a minimally invasive surgery with no chance for redisplacement of fracture thus reducing the chances of Malunion and Cubitus Varus deformity.
