Abstract
Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow injuries in children. Closed reduction percutaneous fixation is the preferred method in the treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures. The optimal pin configuration is still a matter of debate. As the most commonly used fixation method, medial-lateral cross pinning provides better stability biomechanically but there is an increased risk of ulnar nerve injury. We also used the modified Dorgan method (lateral cross pin) to minimize the risk of ulnar nerve injury and to obtain fixation with similar biomechanical stability. In this study, we compared the results of standard medial-lateral pinning and the modified Dorgan method in the treatment of Gartland type 3 supracondylar fractures. We retrospectively analyzed 54 patients (32 males, 22 females) with pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures who were treated at the Ankara City Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology C...
