Tips of the trade #30. Constructing a bracket for fixation of
supracondylar fractures in children. Toledano-B. Price-A-E. Department of Orthopedic Surgery, New York University Medical Center, Orthop-Rev. 1990 Nov. 19(11). P 1026-9. Displaced supracondylar fractures in children are best treated with anatomic reduction and percutaneous fixation. Flynn et al first described the [1mpediatric [m application of a simple holding bracket to facilitate reduction and percutaneous pinning of supracondylar fractures. A similar bracket can be easily constructed with connecting rods and clamps from a Hoffman or an AO external fixator tray. Author-abstract.
