Official title
Effectiveness of Cross K-wire Vs Lateral Entry K-wire Fixation in Maintaining Reduction of Gartland Type # Supracondylar Fractures of Children : A Comparative Study
Overview
This study compares the efficacy of K wire when inserted in Cross V/s Lateral Direction in Supracondylar fractures of Gartland Type 3 in children. A comparative study.
Detailed description
This is a randomized control trial being done to compare the efficacy of Cross V/S Laterally Placed K wire In Supracondylar fractures to calculate and copmpare the Post K wire iinsertion range of motion . It is also intended to calculate the frequency of loss of reduction after lateral K wire in terms of Skaggs Criteria . This study intends to find the better method of K wire fixatio to avoid the post fixation loss of reduction.
Interventions
- Procedure Cross K Wire Fixation
In this intervention the K wire will be fixed in a Manner of Cross at the site of frature. - Procedure Lateral K wire Fixation
In this arm of intervention the K wire will be fixed laterally at the site of fracture.
Primary outcome measures
- frequency of post K wire fixation loss of reduction [Time frame: 2 months]
