[Personal experience in the use of closed reduction and transcutaneous K-wire fixation for displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children].
The method of closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation has been used for treatment of 20 children with displaced supracondylar fracture of the humeral bone. No infection, vascular or neural complication has been observed. In all cases good clinical and radiological results have been achieved. The authors conclude the method presented above should be used as a treatment of choice for displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children.
