Outcome of Closed versus Open Reduction in Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures

Puntos clave

• This research aims to evaluate the outcomes of closed versus open reduction techniques in treating pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures.
• Randomized trial comparing closed reduction and open reduction techniques
• Pediatric patients diagnosed with supracondylar humerus fractures
• Outcome measures included functional recovery and complications
• Closed reduction showed a lower complication rate at 5% (compared to 15% in open reduction), P=0.03.
• Functional recovery was faster in the closed reduction group, achieving full mobility at 4 weeks versus 6 weeks in the open group.
