Proximal lateral entry technique for the treatment of supracondylar humeral fractures in children and intraoperative nerve protection: a novel technique
The proximal lateral-entry pinning technique yields favorable fracture outcomes and does not increase the risk of radial or ulnar nerve injury when it is performed meticulously. This approach is therefore recommended as a viable surgical technique for treating supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
