dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: Pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture (SCHF) is one of the most common elbow fractures in children aged 5-7 years. There is a continuous discussion regarding the optimal timing for conducting surgery for fractures of this nature. Therefore, we aimed to determine whether the timing of surgery in pediatric SCHFs has an impact on the frequency of early postoperative complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between January 2018 and March 2020, pediatric SCHF patients who underwent surgery at our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Patients operated on within 12 hours after the fracture and those operated on later were respectively included in the early and late groups. Early postoperative complications, including neurological deficits, iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury, vascular injury, compartment syndrome, K-wire migration, and unexpected returns to the operating room, were compared between the two groups. We investigated surgical duration, reduction, and perioperative radiographic data. RESULTS: For modified Gartland type II or type III fractures, there was no significant difference in the incidence of early complications between the early and delayed groups. Additionally, there were no noticeable differences between the two groups in terms of perioperative radiographic data, reduction procedure, or surgical duration. CONCLUSIONS: Delayed surgery in type II or type III supracondylar humerus fractures was not associated with an increased incidence of early postoperative complications. The difficulty or effectiveness of reduction is not influenced by the timing of surgery.en_US
