Flexion-Type Supracondylar Humerus Fracture: A Review on Reduction Techniques

Abstract

Supracondylar Humerus Fracture (SCH) is the most common elbow fractures in children. Classically these fractures are classified into two types, flexion, and extension. As the flexion type fracture is less common, orthopedic surgeons usually are less familiar with reduction techniques of this fracture. To our knowledge , several methods have been reported in the literature for the reduction of this fracture type. Here in this paper, we reviewed this technique.
