[Supracondylar upper arm fracture in childhood]
Abstract:
For the last 28 years condylar upper arm fractures have been treated at the Department of Surgery of Erlangen University mainly via the extention after Baumann. 182 cases out of 306 were followed up clinically. Extension treatment after Baumann is a technically simple procedure and offers the possibility of continual control and correction of repositioning. Treatment results are good. We could not observe Volkmann's contraction among our patients. Operation does not decisively improve the results, whereas the risk is increased. It should remain restricted to those cases only which cannot be successfully treated by conservative measures.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
