Abstract

Introduction

Our goal in this study was to propose an alternative closed reduction method to avoid open reduction in the management of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures. A temporary Kirschner wire is inserted to the proximal part of the humerus to be used as a joystick to have a better control of the proximal fragment.

Patients

Twenty-three patients with closed Gartland type III extension fractures were operated between 2003 and 2007. Mean age of the patients was 6.7 (4–10) years.

Method

Uninjured and fractured elbow’s Bauman angles, lateral condylar angles, the carrying angles and ROM values were compared statistically according to independent samples t test.

Results

At a mean follow-up 96.73 weeks (53–150), clinical results using the Flynn criteria were excellent in 21 (91.3%), good in 1(4.35%), fair in 1 (4.35%) patient.

Conclusion

These results suggest that the “joystick” reduction method is a reliable alternative when closed reduction itself is not successful.
