Fifty children with displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus who were treated by close reduction and above elbow posterior plaster splint followed by modified shoulder spica were observed. We analysed the role of modified shoulder spica in the prevention of the secondary displacement in plaster slab leading to cubitus varus. At final follw-up, 5(10%) children had cubitus varus, compared to most series reporting up to 30% cases. |
