Abstract

Background and Objectives: Supracondylar fractures of the humerus the most common type of elbow fracture in children. Severely displaced supracondylar fractures of the distal humerus in children are a challenging problem. Many treatment methods have been described for the treatment of displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus, however it has not been reached a consensus for the choice of treatment. The purpose of this study is to clinically asses the outcome of surgically managed supracondylar fracture of humerus using K wire fixation.
Materials and Method: 30 Children of supracondylar fracture of humerus treated in the Dept. of Orthopaedics, GIMS, Gadag between June 2021 to Feb 2022. Out of a total of 30 cases 24 were treated with closed reduction and internal fixation by k wire and 6 were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with k wire. The average age was 7.1 years. We evaluated the results using FLYNN’S criteria.
Result: According to the results of the study, we obtained 21 excellent, 4 good, 4 fair and 1 poor results.
Conclusion: The data in the current study shows that surgically managed displaced supracondylar fracture of humerus in children using K wire fixation gives excellent outcomes both radiologically and functionally thus can be deemed as treatment of choice for the same.
