Surgical Management of Flexion Type Supracondylar Humeral Fracture With Ulnar Nerve Injury - A Report of a Rare Case

Supracondylar humerus fractures in children account for up to two-thirds of pediatric elbow injuries that require hospitalization. Supra-condylar fractures usually occur due to falls from height, from sports, or through acts of leisure. The estimation of their incidence is about 177.3 per 100000. He...

description Supracondylar humerus fractures in children account for up to two-thirds of pediatric elbow injuries that require hospitalization. Supra-condylar fractures usually occur due to falls from height, from sports, or through acts of leisure. The estimation of their incidence is about 177.3 per 100000. Here, we report a successfully managed case of flexion-type supra-condylar fracture of the humerus with ulnar nerve injury without any complications.
