Description
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the functional outcome of carrying angle changes following
supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedic for one year and 100 patients
were included in the study.
Results: A total of 100 patients with a mean age of 5.2 years (SD± 2.3) were seen. 75% were male and 60%
were less than 5 years of age. Most of the injuries occurred at home (64%). A total of 72% of the patients were
seen within 24 hours of the injury. There was a significant difference in mean scores of PedsQL (all P values <
.01) at 6 months. In the present study, pin site infection complication was seen in 5 patients.
Conclusion: In this prospective study, the quality of life of patients following SCHF diminished at the time of
the injury and returned to the population normal 6 months after. There was no significant difference in HRQoL
scores between patients who presented early and those who presented late. The delayed presentation and
management did not also affect the functional outcome and complications
