The Impact of Surgical Timing on Complications and Clinical Outcomes in Surgery for Displaced Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fracture
1. Pediatric patients operated on during nighttime hours exhibited higher complication rates and longer hospital stays. 2. Outcomes assessed using the Flynn criteria were superior in patients operated on during daytime hours or with surgical waiting times of less than 8 hours. 3. These findings suggest that there is no universal definitive limit for optimal surgical timing. 4. Patient-specific conditions and clinical features should guide surgeons in determining the appropriate timing for surgery.
