Radiologic comparison of crossed K-wires and three K-wires configurations in the treatment of displaced supracondylar humerus fractures

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to radiologically compare the stability of crossed K-wires and 3 K-wires configurations in the treatment of pediatric supracondylar fractures of the humerus, in regard to loss of correction of Baumann and carrying angles. Methods: Patients who sought emergency treatment for Gartland type III supracondylar humerus fractures were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. Both groups underwent closed reduction and osteosynthesis under general anesthesia. Osteosynthesis was performed using two crossed K-wires in the first group (n=17, 11 boys, 6 girls; mean age 6.1 years) and three K-wires in the latter (n=18, 12 boys, 6 girls; mean age 7.6 years). In all patients, the Baumann and carrying angles were radiologically evaluated both in the intact and involved sides intraoperatively and during the last follow-up examination. Loss of correction in these two angles were calculated. Results: No significant differences were found between the two groups in regard to the Baumann and carrying angles. However, mean value for loss of correction was significantly better in the second group (p=0.003 for the Baumann angle, and p=0.028 for the carrying angle). Conclusion: Compared to the classic crossed K-wires, use of 3 K-wires seems to provide a more stable osteosynthesis in the treatment of displaced supracondylar humerus fractures, without any contribution to morbidity.
