DOI: 10.1097/pec.0000000000001822
Abstract: Background Extension-type supracondylar fractures can be treated with external immobilization, with the elbow flexed 100°. However, this technique requires early evaluation by true lateral x-ray of the elbow to detect secondary fracture displacement. Questions/Purpose The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1460408617742676
Abstract: Background Intraoperative fluoroscopy can potentially expose the surgeon to levels of radiation beyond the recommended limits. This study aimed to assess the intraoperative differences between the fixation of types 2 and 3 supracondylar fractures for… read more here.
