Aim: The aim of this study is to show our experience in cases of dislocated extension typesupracondylar humeral fractures and evaluate the results of their treatment in the period from 2000 to 2010 with a follow up of a maximum six months.
Material and Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical cases for the period 2000 -2010 was done. Children from 4 to 14 years of age with supracondylar fractures of the humerusextension type are included. The total number of patients treated at the Clinic for Pediatric Surgery was 230.
Results:The results of the treatment were evaluated after the last control examination six months later. We noticed postoperative neurological damage in 10 cases (4.85%). In 14 patients (6.8%) we noticed long term deformities such as cubitus varus or cubitus valgus. Infection at the entering place of the needles occurred in 4 patients (1.94%), which did not indicate premature extraction of the needles and conversion of the treatment.
Conclusion:As a conclusion, we can stress that our outcomes in treatment of dislocated suparacondylar fractures of the humerus in children meet the world standards.
Background: Donation of organs is on a very low level and due to its specific nature is a very sensitive topic, especially in the post -conflict and multinational country like Republic of Macedonia.
