  • Title: [Supracondylar humeral fractures in infants and small children].
    Author: Piroth P, Gharib M, Langer I.
    Journal: Z Kinderchir; 1981 Apr; 32(4):347-52. PubMed ID: 7282073.
    Abstract:
    The question of separation of the epiphyses in infants and small children of the type Salter-Harris affecting the distal humerus is discussed. The indications for open reduction of the distal humerus epiphyseal separation is rarely indicated and should only be utilised when there is associated injury to the nerves of vessels or a total disruption of the chondyle. Provided that accurate re-position and fixation can be performed, the prognosis of this injury is satisfactory.
