Percutaneous fixation of supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children
VL Arino, EE Lluch, AM Ramirez, J Ferrer, L Rodriguez and F Baixauli
Of 1,118 supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children treated over a
six-year period, 189 are described with a follow-up of more than two years.
These patients were treated with closed reduction and percutaneous fixation
of the fragments with two wires. Eighty-five per cent of the final results
were satisfactory.
