Internal Fixation of Lateral Humeral Condyle Fractures With Absorbable Screws in Children

NCT02733666 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 86

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Lateral humeral condyle fractures are the second most common elbow fractures in children. Displaced and rotated fractures require stabilization and reduction. Kirschner wires (K-wires) are most commonly used for fracture fixation. Here, the investigators introduce a new fixation method involving absorbable screws. The investigators aimed to determine if it is feasible to treat lateral humeral condyle fractures with absorbable screws by comparing the functional outcomes obtained using screw fixation vs. K-wire fixation.
