Supracondylar humeral fractures are the most common elbow fracture in children. While job one for orthopaedists is successfully reducing the fracture for optimal healing and function, orthopaedic surgeons must also pay attention to neurovascular injuries that sometimes accompany this type of fracture.
Because supracondylar humeral fractures present with various degrees of displacement and the concomitant injuries may be difficult to assess precisely, there is no single, accepted protocol for managing this condition.
This complimentary webinar, moderated by JBJS Deputy Editor for Pediatrics Paul Sponseller, MD, will examine the efficacy of different approaches to managing supracondylar humeral fractures—and their neurovascular consequences. The panel of pediatric orthopaedists will also discuss other effective management strategies germane to this specific type of elbow fracture.
Brain Scannell, MD and Christine Ho, MD, will explore pulseless (perfused and nonperfused) supracondylar humeral fractures by presenting findings from separate but related studies, both published in JBJS in 2013. In addition, John Flynn, MD, will present findings from his 2014 JBJS study, which investigated isolated anterior interosseous nerve injuries accompanying supracondylar humeral fractures.
Commentary from pediatric orthopaedist Donald Bae, MD will complement the author presentations.
