Gartland Type II Supracondylar Humerus Fractures, Their Operative Treatment and Lateral Pinning Are Increasing: A Population-Based Epidemiologic Study of Extension-Type Supracondylar Humerus Fractures in Children

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery | 2017 | Tytti Pokka, Minna Sirviö, Willy Serlo, Juha-Jaakko Sinikumpu

Background Supracondylar humerus fractures are usual in children but their recent trends are unclear. Material and Methods A population-based study was performed to determine the epidemiology of childhood supracondylar humerus fractures during the decade, 2000 to 2009, in a geographic area of Oulu, Finland. Altogether, 565 extension-type supracondylar humerus fractures were inc...
