“…The final results were evaluated according to the criteria for grading outcomes Flynn et al 4,5 The results were graded as excellent, good, fair and poor according to loss of range of motion and loss of carrying angle.…”

Comparative Study Using Intramedullary K-wire Fixation Over Titanium Elastic Nail in Paediatric Shaft Femur Fractures

“…Limb length discrepancy was seen in five cases, three of them had shortening of less than 2 cm (two in Group I and one in Group II) and two cases had lengthening of more than 2cm (both in Group II). A total of 6 patients developed varus mal-alignment at fracture site, four of them had varus of acceptable limit [21] i.e. less than10°, 2 patients had unacceptable mal-alignment (one of each group).…”

Reliability of the Radiographic Parameters in Pediatric Supracondylar Fracture

“…바우만 각의 단점을 보완하고 연령에 따른 주관절의 방 사선 소견의 변화를 보완하여 측정의 정확도를 높이기 위 하여 골간단-골간 각 (metaphyseal diaphyseal angle), 내상 과-골단 각 (medial epicondylar epiphyseal angle) 등 방사선 ( Fig. 3)에서 바우만 각 19) , 골간단-골간 각 4) , 내상과-골단 각 1,11,14) . 내측 핀 삽입 시 합병 될 수 있는 척골 신경 손상을 막기 위해 외측에만 2개의 핀 고정 1) 을 주장한 바도 있었으나 외측 2개의 핀 고정과 함께 내측 핀 고정을 시행하여 확고한 안정성을 얻을 수 있는 방법 또한 안전함이 입증된 바 있다 14) .…”
