REMODELLING OF THE HUMERUS AFTER SUPRACONDYLAR FRACTURES IN CHILDHOOD

C. G. Attenborough 1

1 London, England

Four cases are shown to illustrate remodelling of the lower end of the humerus after supracondylar fractures with displacement in childhood. Remodelling is rapid and will restore almost normal anatomy and good function even with severely displaced fractures. The results are much better than in many cases treated by open reduction.
