Overview
This study compares the efficacy of K wire when inserted in Cross V/s Lateral Direction in Supracondylar fractures of Gartland Type 3 in children. A comparative study.
Description
This is a randomized control trial being done to compare the efficacy of Cross V/S Laterally Placed K wire In Supracondylar fractures to calculate and copmpare the Post K wire iinsertion range of motion . It is also intended to calculate the frequency of loss of reduction after lateral K wire in terms of Skaggs Criteria . This study intends to find the better method of K wire fixatio to avoid the post fixation loss of reduction.
