Supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children. Treatment by straight lateral traction

J Piggot, HK Graham, and GF McCoy

Ninety-eight children with severely displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus were treated by straight lateral traction. After a mean follow-up period of 3.5 years there were 90 satisfactory and only eight unsatisfactory results. Cubitus varus was present in only four children, which compares favourably with the results of operative treatment. The indications for straight lateral traction, and the advantages of this method, are discussed.
