Abstract:ObjectiveThis study aims to find the optimal arrangement of the Kirschner wire (K-wire) in the sagittal plane for fixation of a pediatric lateral condylar humeral fracture (Milch type II) by using finite element analysis (FEA).MethodsA model of lateral condyle fracture in a 6-year-old boy was developed, and an XYZ coordinate system was established based on this model. The YZ plane was defined as the sagittal plane to investigate the impact of the angle formed by the first and second K-wires on stability. Two c… Show more
