title: [Results of closed pinning of supracondylar humerus fractures using Kirschner wires].
abstract: In the Department of Traumatology of the County Hospital "Kaposi Mór" 150 children with supracondylar fracture of humerus were treated during 10 years (1980-1989). 119 cases reduced and pinned with percutaneous Kirschner wire are dealt with. 98 cases could be controlled 2-10 years after the accident. The importance of urgent treatment is stressed. The urgent reduction and the closed pinning with Kirschner wire are thought to be an efficient prophylaxis against Volkmann's ischaemic contracture and varus deformity, caused by secondary movements.
