Angulated radial neck fractures in children. A prospective study of percutaneous reduction.
We made a prospective study of angulated radial neck fractures in children reduced by leverage with a percutaneous Kirschner wire. Of 36 consecutive cases with angulation of more than 30 degrees reduction was successful in 33. We obtained an excellent or good final result in 31 (94%).
