[A simple method for stabilizing the supracondylar humerus fracture]

Abstract:
Supracondylar fracture of the humerus occurs most often in fairly young persons. The incidence rate decreases during adolescence and is then seen to an increased degree again at an advanced age. Conservative treatment of this fracture leads in elderly patients often to restricted function of the elbow and shoulder. Even operative fixation by means of screws in combination with a semitubular or DC plate may be associated with difficulties. Combined use of tension banding and drill wiring is a good alternative.

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...
