title: [Ulnar nerve palsy after percutaneous crossed pinning of supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children].
abstract: Five ulnar palsies with spontaneous improvement, from the medial percutaneous pinning, have been analysed out of thirty two displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus. These findings allow us to discuss this technique, despite the advantages provided by the mechanical stability of this fixation.
