Among pediatric patients who were diagnosed with T-condylar fractures of the humerus between 2010 and 2017, those who underwent closed reduction and percutaneous pinning were retrospectively evaluated. The surgical technique used was to restore joint alignment through closed reduction and then to insert a pin parallel to the joint surface to stabilize the intercondylar fracture. Then, the supracondylar fracture was fixed with crossed pins. At 1-year follow-up, rotation, angulation, and joint range of motion were evaluated. Patient satisfaction was assessed subjectively using the visual analogue scale. Early and late postoperative Baumann angles were measured. All patients were male, and the mean age was 10.8 \u00b1 4.6 years. The mean follow-up duration was 16.5 \u00b1 7.2 months, and the mean union duration was 7.4 \u00b1 2.3 weeks. None of the patients had any rotational deformities, but two had 5\u00b0 of varus, one had 5\u00b0 of valgus, two had a flexion contracture of 10\u00b0, and one had a flexion contracture of 40\u00b0. The only complication observed was a pin-tract infection, which developed in one patient. The mean visual analogue scale score was 9.25 \u00b1 1. In pediatric patients with T-condylar humerus fractures, closed reduction and percutaneous pinning may be a good alternative to open reduction and pinning, because it is less invasive and does not cause additional complications<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/bpb.0000000000000620","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,10]],"date-time":"2019-03-10T12:09:12Z","timestamp":1552219752000},"page":"515-519","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Is open reduction necessary for pediatric T-condylar fractures of the humerus?"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"\u0130smail Eralp","family":"Ka\u00e7maz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Tepecik Training and Research Hospital"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Can Doruk","family":"Basa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Tepecik Training and Research Hospital"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vadym","family":"Zhamilov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Tepecik Training and Research Hospital"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Reiso\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Tepecik Training and Research Hospital"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u0130hsan","family":"Akan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, \u0130zmir \u00d6zel Tinaztepe Hospital, \u0130zmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haluk","family":"A\u011fu\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Tepecik Training and Research Hospital"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"163","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ocl.2007.12.005","article-title":"Pediatric supracondylar fractures and pediatric physeal elbow fractures.","volume":"39","author":"Shrader","year":"2008","journal-title":"Orthop Clin North Am"},{"key":"R2-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"142","DOI":"10.1097\/BPO.0b013e3181653af3","article-title":"Fractures of the distal humeral metaphyseal\u2013diaphyseal junction in children.","volume":"28","author":"Fayssoux","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Pediatr Orthop"},{"key":"R3-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"494","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.N.00758","article-title":"Pediatric distal humeral fractures and complications of treatment in Finland: a review of compensation claims from 1990 through 2010","volume":"97","author":"Vallila","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am"},{"key":"R4-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.1097\/01241398-199001000-00018","article-title":"The triceps-dividing approach to open reduction of complex distal humeral fractures in adolescents: a Cybex evaluation of triceps function and motion.","volume":"10","author":"Kasser","year":"1990","journal-title":"J Pediatr Orthop"},{"key":"R5-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"657","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-197860050-00012","article-title":"Surgical treatment of displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children.
