Simultaneous ipsilateral fractures of the arm and forearm in children

C L Stanitski et al. Clin Orthop Relat Res. 1980 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

The simultaneous occurrence of ipsilateral humeral supracondylar and forearm fractures is unusual, and the incidence of this combination is not known. For the management of six cases of this fracture combination, initial reduction and transcutaneous pin fixation of the supracondylar fracture were recommended and the followed by reduction and stabilization of the forearm fracture. Serious neurovascular complications associated with these severe extremity injuries are manageable only by prompt diagnosis and treatment.
