Article Synopsis
- This study conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare various surgical approaches for treating pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures, focusing on their outcomes and complications.
- Data were collected from 26 studies involving 1461 patients, revealing that the lateral and posterior surgical approaches have a higher risk of negative events compared to closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP), and anterior and medial approaches.
- Overall, the anterior and medial approaches provided better functional and cosmetic outcomes with fewer complications, making them superior options compared to the lateral and posterior approaches.
Background And Purpose: Open reduction is rarely performed in pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures. However, clear evidence is lacking regarding the optimal open approach to achieve satisfactory results. The anterior approach provides direct visualization of the fracture and excellent exposure to neurovascular structures, although its utilization is less common.

Behind-the-back function is classically evaluated using the hand-to-spine task used for the Mallet score. Angular measurements of shoulder extension with residual NBPI have generally been studied utilizing kinematic motion laboratories.
