  • Title: Ipsilateral proximal metaphyseal and flexion supracondylar humerus fractures with an associated olecranon avulsion fracture.
    Author: James P, Heinrich SD.
    Journal: Orthopedics; 1991 Jun; 14(6):713-6. PubMed ID: 1866356.
    Abstract:
    An ipsilateral proximal humerus fracture, "flexion" supracondylar humerus fracture, and olecranon fracture found together is a rare event. The supracondylar fracture should be reduced and percutaneously pinned before the ipsilateral upper extremity fractures are reduced. Displaced supracondylar fractures should be pinned with crossed smooth pins. Most pediatric proximal humerus and olecranon fractures can be treated closed.
