[The comparison of the results of treatment of displaced supracondylar humeral fractures by skeletal traction and percutaneous K-wire fixation in children].
The aim of the study was to compare of the results of treatment of displaced supracondylar humeral fractures by skeletal traction and percutaneous K-wire fixation in children. We assessed retrospectively the type and result of treatment of 23 children. We obtained very good results in all cases treated by closed reposition secured by percutaneous K-wire fixation. In the group treated by skeletal traction, in 5 cases reposition was inadequate with subsequent limitation of range of motion in the elbow joint. According to our results closed reposition and percutaneous fixation should be the method of choice in displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
