Background: Rotational malalignment is a common problem in pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHF). Several techniques have been described to evaluate the true rotation value. Although the Prabhakar and Gordon techniques are used frequently, their superiority to each other in terms of measurement quality is unknown.

Background: In the sport of arm wrestling, the great rotational force is applied to the upper extremity, which can result in muscle and tendon injuries in the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints, and even bone fractures. The aim of this study was to present the treatment modalities, functional outcomes, and return to sport after arm wrestling injuries.
Methods: A retrospective evaluation was made of the trauma mechanisms, treatment modalities, clinical outcomes, and time of return to sports of patients admitted to our hospital with an arm wrestling injury between 2008 and 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The Gartland classification is used to determine the need for surgery, while the John Hopkins classification predicts surgical outcomes and the likelihood of complications.
- A study involving 200 patients with supracondylar humerus fractures assessed the reliability of both classification systems among pediatric and general orthopedic surgeons.
- Results showed that the Gartland classification had excellent reliability for both observers, while the John Hopkins classification had varying levels of agreement depending on the experience of the surgeons involved.
