Dynamics of the ulnar nerve after percutaneous pinning of supracondylar humeral fractures in children.

This prospective study was performed to evaluate and compare the morphological changes and dynamics of the ulnar nerve after percutaneous cross-pinning with Kirshner wire (group 1; 13, mean age 8.3 years, 10 male and three female children) and only lateral pinning (group 2; eight, mean age 7.6 years, six male and two female children) of displaced unilateral supracondylar fractures in children's elbows using ultrasonography in comparison with the contralateral healthy elbows.

Morphology and dynamics of the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel after percutaneous cross-pinning of supracondylar fractures in children's elbows: an ultrasonographic study.

After the 12.6-month (3-30) follow-up period, the morphology and dynamics of the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel were examined with ultrasonography on operated (group 1) and opposite (group 2) elbows of 13 children who had percutaneous cross-pin fixation for displaced supracondylar humerus fractures. When we compared group 1 and group 2, nerve morphology was similar (P>0.

[Early results of complete subtalar release in congenital clubfoot deformity].

Objectives: We evaluated the radiological and clinical results of complete subtalar release in patients with congenital clubfoot deformity.

Methods: We performed complete subtalar release in 30 feet of 20 patients (14 boys, 6 girls; mean age 8 months; range 3.5 to 18.
