used five different reviewers of 50 extension-type supracondylar humerus fractures at three different times. ANZ Journal of Surgery published by John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd on behalf of Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. Type IV and the medial column comminution subtypes had not yet been added at the time of their work. Paediatric orthopaedics supracondylar fracture. At 3 month follow up, spontaneous nerve recovery had occurred in three of the five cases (60%). The ulnar nerve is most frequently injured and in the current study-exclusively injured.

Flexion-type fractures occur more often in slightly older females. The authors conclude that: flexion fractures are uncommon, they occur more often after high energy mechanisms such as falls from monkey bars, swings, or trampolines. Ten of the 21 flexion-type fractures (48%) were treated surgically. Two ulna nerve palsies did completely resolve at 3 months follow up. Ulnar nerve palsies occurred in five cases (24%). Flexion-type fractures were more common in females (62%) and with high energy mechanisms (81%). The average age of injury was 6.8 years old. Twenty-one (2.6%) of fractures were flexion-type. Injury and treatment data were collected for flexion-type fractures. Fractures were classified on plain radiographs according to the Modified Gartland Classification System.

Supracondylar fractures that presented to the Women's and Children's Hospital Emergency Department between 20 were retrospectively reviewed. Eight hundred and three paediatric supracondylar elbow fractures were retrospectively reviewed at one hospital over a 5 year time period. The presence of an ulnar nerve injury at presentation resulted in an additional 6.7-fold higher risk of open reduction among flexion-type supracondylar humeral fractures. This paper aims to investigate flexion-type supracondylar fractures in an Australian paediatric population. Among closed supracondylar humeral fractures, the flexion-type injury pattern was associated with a 15.4-fold increase in the odds of open reduction. There have been no studies published analysing flexion-type fractures in the Australian paediatric population. Level of evidence: III, Retrospective comparative cohort analysis.Supracondylar fractures are the most common elbow fracture. This increased prevalence may be due to the high rates of type III fractures reported in the current study. The 26% of patients who developed an ulnar neuropraxia following a displaced flexion supracondylar fracture were higher than previous studies reported in the literature. Flexion-type supracondylar fractures of the humerus are rare yet significant injuries. A total of 4 (17.4%) patients were treated with closed reduction casting, 15 (65.2%) with closed reduction percutaneous pinning, and four (17.4%) with open reduction internal fixation. One additional patient was identified with median nerve neuropraxia following treatment with closed reduction casting, which resolved following observation. An alternative technique for reduction of flexion type fractures will be presented below. Of these, all six nerve deficits resolved following treatment. This technique is not suitable for rarer (< 5) flexion type supracondylar fractures. Zero type I fractures, one type II fractures (14.3%), and five type III fractures (33.3%) demonstrated an ulnar nerve palsy. Details of the patients' neurologic status upon presentation demonstrated that 17 (74%) patients were intact and six (26%) patients presented with an ulnar neuropraxia. Twenty-three flexion-type supracondylar humerus fractures were identified and reviewed out of a total of 1000 supracondylar humerus fractures (2.3%). Patient demographics as well as fracture classification, treatment modalities, and pre-and post-treatment neurologic status were analyzed. Twenty-three flexion-type fractures were identified. All supracondylar humerus fracture cases treated at our institution between January 2004 and January 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The aim of this study is to report the rate and type of neurologic injury associated with flexion supracondylar fractures at a tertiary, university institution treated over a 10-year period.
