Abstract
Proximal humerus fractures account for approximately 3 to 5% of all pediatric-adolescent fractures, with a higher incidence observed in older children, particularly between the ages of 10 and 15 years. Non-displaced or minimally displaced fractures can often be treated conservatively. However, the management of displaced or unstable proximal humerus fractures in adolescents may involve surgical intervention, with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) being commonly employed techniques. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning is not without its challenges and potential difficulties. This article aims to describe a technique that can facilitate CRPP and minimize complications associated with this surgical approach.
Ethics Committee
The surgical technique type of study does not require IRB approval in our institutions.
Work carried out at the Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Sanatorio Allende, Córdoba, Argentina.
