Stiffness of various pin configurations for pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture: a systematic review on biomechanical studies.

To compare the biomechanical stability of various pin configurations for pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures under varus, internal rotation, and extension conditions. After electronic retrieval, 11 biomechanical studies were included. Stiffness values of pin configurations under different loading conditions were extracted and pooled.
