Traditionally this fracture is treated by various methods such as POP applications, skin traction, overhead skeletal traction, closed reduction and
percutaneous pin fixation and open reduction with internal fixation8.
Percutaneous pin fixation is one of the methods of treatment in a displaced radial physeal fracture with neurovascular compromise and significant volar soft tissue swelling!
Displaced Supracondylar fractures of the Humerus in children, treated by Closed Reduction and
percutaneous pin fixation.
Percutaneous pin fixation was used in cases of stable retention of the ulnar head after closed reduction, while ORIF was used in patients with unstable fractures of the distal ulna.
Comparison of external and
percutaneous pin fixation with plate fixation for intra articular distal radius fractures.
Percutaneous pin fixation of fracture of the lower end of the humerus.
(7) Immobilization of the involved extremity after closed reduction and
percutaneous pin fixation with above elbow, plaster slab immobilization with arm to chest strapping gives additional rotational stability at the fracture site and prevent redisplacement.
The distal radius fracture was managed by closed reduction and
percutaneous pin fixation [Figure 3].
But many methods have been proposed for the treatment of displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children, such as Closed Reduction and Plaster of Paris slab application, Skin Traction, Overhead skeletal traction, Open reduction and Internal fixation and Closed Reduction and
Percutaneous Pin Fixation.
