MINIMALLY INVASIVE METHODS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR INJURIES OF THE UPPER LIMB IN CHILDREN
Abstract
INTRODUCTION. Upper extremity fractures comprise 84 % of all extremity fractures in children.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. In 2004–2013, 504 operations were performed in children aged 5 to 17 years for various injuries of the upper extremity using image intensifiers, in Minsk clinical centre of Trauma and orthopaedics of 6th Minsk clinical Hospital (children’s Department)
RESULTS. Immediate results were good or excellent in 98.8 % of patients. In 1.2 % of patients, post-traumatic transient neuropathy of the radial and median nerves was observed.
CONCLUSIONS. Minimally invasive operations with image intensifiers performed to treat injuries of the upper extremity in children are highly effective and allow open reduction and skeletal traction to be avoided.
