title: [Early results of the operative treatment of the supracondylar humerus fractures in children].
abstract: Hereby paper presents the early results of the operative treatment of the 83 supracondylar humerus fractures in children. Two operative methods are applied: closed or opened reposition of the fractures under the x-ray monitoring with K-wires stabilisation. About 20% of fractures were treated with the use of closed reposition method. All children underwent the operation in the first day of admission. The average time of hospitalisation lasted for 6 days. The results were evaluated after average 14 months long observation. Very good results were achieved in 94% of cases. The limbs axis deviations during the time of observation were not noticed. The authors suggest operative reposition with K-wires fixation in the treatment of the supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children.
