Le fratture della paletta omerale nei bambini
Abstract
DISTAL HUMERAL FRACTURES IN CHILDREN
Distal humeral fractures are common injuries of the elbow in children. The diagnosis is based on clinical evidence and
radiographic examination; other investigations are rarely necessary. Undisplaced fractures need a conservative
treatment, while surgical treatment is recommended in most severe cases. It is generally performed by closed or open
reduction and internal fixation with K-wires. These types of fractures can lead to early and late complications that
need to be recognised and treated as soon as possible to avoid disabling conditions.
