Identification of perioperative predictors of health care utilization is of particular interest to mitigate cost and improve patient outcomes. The aim of this study is to elucidate the effect of social deprivation levels, using the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), on health care utilization following the pinning of supracondylar humerus (SCH) fractures.

Each radiograph was evaluated for the following parameters: lateral joint space height (both in the central and medial portions of the compartment), medial joint space height, fibular head height, lateral tibial spine height, femoral inter-epicondylar distance, lateral tibial plateau obliquity, and chordal distance of the femoral condyle (medial and lateral). <b>Results:</b> In univariate analysis, children with discoid lateral meniscus had higher median lateral joint space heights (p<0.001) and lower fibular head height (p=0.001) than controls.
