A study of vascular injuries in pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures.
2001
194 children with supracondylar fractures of the humerus were reviewed. Of the 49 children with Gartland grade III displacement, signs of vascular compromise were clinically suspected in 5 cases. Immediate open reduction, internal fixation and exploration were performed. Four children had a satisfactory outcome. One child required amputation. A careful clinical evaluation for vascular injury and an aggressive surgical approach is suggested, when indicated.
