- Abstract:
- The classification of supracondylar humeral fractures in German-speaking areas is carried out according to von Laer, which has been appropriated from the AO system and has the advantage that it can be used to derive the treatment. When indicated immediate surgery is given preference over a delayed treatment. The result is controlled by functional tests directly during the operation. Instability of the fracture and correct placement of the Kirschner (K) wires are challenging. Alternatives are an external fixator and elastically stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN). Concomitant injuries initially affect the median nerve and the brachial artery and secondarily the radial nerve. Lesions of the ulnar nerve are mostly a postoperative complication. The bony consolidation is achieved after 3-4 weeks and afterwards implant removal can be safely carried out. Embedded K‑wires and ESIN are removed after 3-6 months, depending on the surgical capacity and complaints of the patient.
