Abstract
We conducted a prospective study in 72 pediatric patients, out of 150 who came to the emergency room with supracondylar elbow fractures; Grades II-B and III of Gartland, which showed rotation on the radiograph. We performed AP and strict side radiographs and a 3D CAT of the shoulder and elbow. The diameters of the distal end of the proximal fragment and the proximal end of the distal fragment were measured and compared in each patient. The relationship between rotated fractures, fracture type and lateral or medial displacement was sought.
