Supracondylar fractures of the humerus represent the most common surgical fractures in pediatric patients. There is a discourse regarding the influence of the surgeon training on treatment. Different studies show equivocal effect of subspecialty training.

This technical note describes Kapandji intrafocal pinning technique (KIPT) for achieving optimal fracture reduction and stable fixation in Gartland Type III or IV extension type PSCFH. In KIPT, a K wire was introduced into the fracture site from the posterior aspect, fracture manipulation was done by levering with wire reducing the posterior displacement of the distal fragment and the wire was fixed to the anterior cortex of the proximal fragment.

Background: Pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures present considerable surgical challenges due to the difficulty of achieving proper fracture alignment and stable fixation while avoiding injury to the ulnar nerve. This study assesses the biomechanical performance of a novel Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation device (KFD), designed to enhance stability and reduce complications linked to traditional K-wire configurations.
Methods: Using finite element analysis (FEA), we evaluated four fixation strategies for treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral simple transverse fractures: crossed pin fixation, crossed pin fixation with KFD, two lateral pin fixation, and two lateral pin fixation with KFD, under various mechanical loads.

Introduction: Supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHFs) represent a significant segment of paediatric bone injuries, posing unique challenges due to their potential for severe complications. This study aims to provide a detailed analysis of the surgically treated SCHF cases recorded in our registry.
Materials And Methods: Prospectively collected data from seven institutes were retrospectively analysed using the Hungarian SCHF Registry, with data about surgically treated paediatric patients with SCHFs.
