Temporal patterns of redisplacement risk following nonoperative treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures: A retrospective cohort study

Redisplacement risk after nonoperative management of pediatric SCHFs appears concentrated in early post-reduction periods. Displacement magnitude and severity of soft-tissue swelling may provide more clinically relevant prognostic information than fracture classification alone. The observed temporal pattern may be influenced by discrete follow-up intervals and requires prospective validation.
