Clinical and Functional Outcomes of Nonoperatively Treated Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures at the Nkhotakota District Hospital, Malawi
Background: Displaced supracondylar humerus fractures are felt to benefit from closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. In Malawi, limited surgical capacity results in many of these injuries being treated nonoperatively with straight-arm traction and splinting. We sought to assess clinical and functional outcomes of nonoperatively treated supracondylar humerus fractures in a resource-limited setting. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with supracondylar humerus fractures treated at Nkhotakota District Hospital (NKKDH) in Malawi between January 2014 and December 2016. Patients …
