Abstract:
Cubitus varus is the most difficult question in the treatment of humeral supracondylar fracture in children. In this retrospective study, 112 cases of humeral supracondylar fractures since 1988 were summarized and analyzed. Based on Liniansheng's evaluation standard,the therapeutic results were excellent in 49 cases, good 43 and poor 20, and the incidence rate of cubitus varus was higher. The causes of cubitus varus were analyzed through the points of rotational displacement, ulnar deviation and fixation, and the corresponding strategies according to the causes were proposed to reduce the incidence rate of cubitus varus.
