DISPLACED SUPRACONDYLAR HUMERUS FRACTURES REDUCED WITH CLOSED REDUCTION AND PERCUTANEOUS PINNING USING THE ARM BOARD TECHNIQUE IN CHILDREN.

Abstract

Introduction: Closed reduction percutaneous pinning is the current gold standard of treatment for displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children (CRPP). A simple CRPP process using a radiolucent arm board and simpler C-arm handling is described in this methodology. This method yields reproducible results and is easy to copy. It may also be used to any standard operating table.
