DOI: 10.1016/j.jcjq.2020.06.010
Abstract: BACKGROUND Supracondylar humerus (SCH) fractures, the most common elbow injuries in children, often require surgical reduction and percutaneous pinning. Postoperative pain medication management varies considerably, ranging from over-the-counter analgesics to multiday opioid prescriptions. In response… read more here.
