To evaluate the outcome of fracture supracondylar humerus managed with percutaneous lateral pinning in children

CRIF with K-wire fixation is the treatment of choice in fractures suprracondylar humerus in children. The study was done in thirty patient to evaluate the outcome of percutaneous lateral pinning using k wire. Thirty case of displaced fracture supracondylar in children managed with CRIF with percutaneous lateral pinning using k- wire. The average age group of children was 7.4 year (minimum 5year of age and maximun-13year year). The fracture was immobilised for three weeks. Follow up was done at 3, 6, 9.12.24 week and all the complication were recorded. Evaluation was done on the basis of Flynn’s criteria by measuring loss of elbow motion and carrying angle.Out of 30 patient 26 patients had excellent results, 2 patient had good results, 1 patient had fair result and 1 patient had poor result according to Flynn’s criteria. CRIF with k –wire by percutaneous lateral pinning in displaced fracture supracondylar humerus in children is an excellent modality of treatment with good functional outcome and minimum complication.
