- W4380992469 abstract "Supracondylar fractures are common pediatric elbow injuries, with management in developing countries presenting challenges due to limited resources, inadequate facilities, and a lack of trained personnel.This study aimed to describe the incidence, demographics, clinical presentation, treatment methods, and outcomes of supracondylar fractures treated at Ashraff Memorial Hospital (AMH)-Kalmunai, a base hospital in Sri Lanka. This is a retrospective descriptive study conducted between January 2019 and December 2020.The study involved 79 children with supracondylar fractures. The majority of the children were male (70.9%) and their ages ranged from one to 15 years. The study identified falls as the most common presenting complaint (92.4%), followed by road traffic accidents (3.8%), native treatment (2.5%), and mismanagement (1.3%). The majority of fractures affected the right side (69.6%), while the remaining cases involved the left side (30.4%). Regarding the time duration from fracture to hospital presentation, a significant proportion of children sought medical attention on the same day (51.9%), followed by presentations within the first three days (38%), within a week (5.1%), or after a month (3.8%). Based on the Gartland classification, type I fractures accounted for 44.3% of cases, followed by type II fractures (29.1%) and type III fractures (26.6%). The most common treatment approach was closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (41.8%). Other treatment options included plaster of Paris (POP) cast without manipulation (36.7%), POP cast with manipulation (7.6%), analgesics alone (6.3%), and open reduction fixation (5.1%). Follow-up procedures varied, with routine cast removal (11.4%), routine cast and K-wire removal (45.6%), and re-do surgery with routine follow-up (1.3%). Among the type III fractures, two children presented with vascular compromise and anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) impairment, while another two children had AIN impairment only. Type I and type II fractures did not exhibit nerve involvement or vascular impairment. Only one out of the 79 children had an open fracture.Supracondylar fracture is the most common orthopedic fracture in children. The study sheds light on the challenges and opportunities associated with treating pediatric supracondylar fractures in a resource-constrained context. The findings can help produce guidelines for the management of supracondylar fractures in underdeveloped nations, as well as contribute to global efforts to enhance the management of pediatric fractures." @default.
