ABSTRACT
Aim: To know the functional
outcome of displaced supracondylar humerus fracturesin children fixed with 2
close cross K-wires presented between 3 to 4 weeks.
Methods:
This
study was conducted at OMC Hospital Lahore from January 2019 to June 2019. All fractured
wereclosely reduced andfixed withand 2cross k wires and pop back slab. Patients
were assessed functionally by Flynn’s criteria and graded as excellent, good,
fair and poor
Results:
The
total children were 15. 4.90±2.48 years was mean age.10(66.66%) patients were
male and 5(33.33%) patients were females. 9(60%) patients were Gartland type II
and 6(40%) patients were Gartland type III fractures. 7(46.66%) patients got
excellent result, 5(33.33%) patients got good and 3(20%) patients got fair
results. Noneurovascular injury was noted.
Conclusion:
The
results were Excellent and good. To stabilize supracondylar humerus fractures
in children this technique is recommended.

words: Flynn’s
criteria, Supracondylar fracture, ulnar nerve
