[Adequate treatment of supracondylar fracture of the humerus with associated brachial artery and nerve injury in childhood (author's transl)].
Injury to the brachial artery and the nerve trunks, accompanying supra- and peri-condylar humerus fractures, occurs in children particularly in seriously dislocated fractures of Baumann Type II and III. Prompt treatment aims at avoiding late sequelae, especially ischaemic muscle contracture. Based on 6 of our own cases, the significance of brachial artery angiogram when the pulse does not become palpable, and of operative investigation, is expounded.
