Comparison of Cross Pin Configurations in Supracondylar Humerus Fracture Treatment: 2 Pins Versus 3 Pins
- Conditions
- Supracondylar Humerus Fracture
- Interventions
- Procedure: crossed pin configuration
- Registration Number
- NCT04582123
- Lead Sponsor
- Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital
- Brief Summary
The objective of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to evaluate and compare the outcome of the 2wire vs 3 wire crossed pin configurations in the management of supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
- Detailed Description
Fortyfive children with supracondylar humeral fractures were randomly divided into two groups. One group was treated with 2 crossed pins and the other group with 3 crossed pins. The mean age was 6.04±2.49 (1-12).. The follow-up period was 5 years, with no patients lost to follow up.
Intervention: Twentytwo patients were managed by 2 crossed and 23 by 3 crossed pin method. All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon.
Main Outcome Measurements: Postoperative stability, ulnar nerve injury, range of motions, and pin tract infections were evaluated.
