Open reduction and K-wiring of severely displaced supracondylar humerus fracture in children:Comparison between posterior triceps splitting approach and lateral approach

Open reduction and K-wiring of severely displaced supracondylar humerus fracture in children:Comparison between posterior triceps splitting approach and lateral approach

This is a retrospective study of patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation of a severely displaced supracondylar fracture humerus in children. Open reduction and internal fIXation with k-wire for displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus is practiced widely in many centers. Va...
