Abstract:Surgeons have been reluctant to perform crossed-pin fixation for displaced pediatric supracondylar humeral (SCH) fractures because it carries a risk of iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury. This study aimed to introduce lateralexit crossed-pin fixation for displaced pediatric SCH fractures and to evaluate its clinical and radiological outcomes, with a particular focus on iatrogenic ulnar nerve injuries. Children who underwent lateral-exit crossed-pin fixation for displaced SCH fractures between 2010 and 2015 were ret… Show more
“…Yun et al [1] reported a radial nerve injury incidence of 1.2%, which is by far higher than that reported by Babal et al [3] of 0.12% for crossed-pin-and 0.63% for lateral-pin fixation.…”

“…Yun et al [1] evaluated the degree of loss of reduction of Baumann's angle, using Skaggs et al's method [8]. However, the latter has been shown to be inaccurate [9], because it is based on a large data transcription error made by Camp et al [10] in their original paper on the alteration of Baumann's angle, which was not recognized by Skaggs et al [8], resulting in the latter authors defining a meaningful difference incorrectly as ≥12° instead of ≥3.2°.…”

Using Skaggs et al's method [8] would result in some deformities being defined as no deformity and therefore, Yun et al [1] do not know if their technique 'may provide adequate stability'. [1] 81 patients had persistent instability after insertion of 2 lateral K-wires.…”
