K-Hammer percutaneous fixation: a novel technique for preventing iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury in pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures
The K-Hammer-assisted medial K-wire insertion provides a streamlined, reproducible approach for managing irreducible extension-type pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures. It effectively mitigates iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury, minimizes soft tissue trauma, ensures biomechanical stability, and promotes optimal long-term elbow kinematics.
