The Mini-invasive Medial Approach is Safe for Cross-pinning in Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures When Performed by Resident Surgeons—A Retrospective Cohort Study
Our results indicate that the mini-invasive medial approach is safe in the hands of resident surgeons for cross-pinning in pediatric SCHF. This finding suggests that iatrogenic ulnar nerve injuries may be prevented by performing mini-invasive medial pinning in a semiflexed elbow.
