title: [Surgical treatment of fractures of the distal end of the humerus in children].
abstract: The author presents his epyerience in the treatment of 473 children with fractures of the distal end of the humerus. An effort is made to systemize the fractures according to the degree of their dislocation for working out the optimal method of surgical treatment. Preference is given to actively surgical methods. The problems of stable fixation of the fragments are considered and it is suggested to use a lateral dosed compression apparatus as a fixator. The period of immobilization is considered from the point of siev of the restoration of the circulation in the distal fragment and it is proposed to extend the period of immobilization in the fractures of the distal epiphysis to 5 or 6 weeks. The immediate and the long-term results of the treatment of the fractures of the distal end of the humerus in children are analysed.
