Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning versus Open Reduction and Internal Fixation in Pediatric Supracondylar Humeral Fractures: A Systematic Review
Febyan Febyan, Made Agus Maharjana, Nyoman Gede Grenata Nanda Ustriyana

TL;DR
This study compares two surgical methods for treating elbow fractures in children and finds both to be equally effective in terms of function.
Contribution
The study provides a systematic review showing clinical equivalence between CRPP and ORIF for pediatric elbow fractures.
Findings
CRPP and ORIF show no significant differences in functional outcomes.
Limited Baumann Angle data hindered conclusive comparisons.
Hospital stay and cosmetic outcomes influence treatment choice.
Abstract
Objective To compare the treatment approaches of closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures through a systematic review of cohort and case-control studies. Methods The CRPP and ORIF treatment modalities were evaluated using Flynn's functional criteria and Baumann angle as outcome measures. Results The results support the clinical equivalence of CRPP ORIF regarding functional outcomes. Despite the limited number of studies and the low level of evidence of the included articles, the present study consistently reported no significant differences, which is in line with the overall results. Limited Baumann Angle data prevented conclusive comparisons in this regard. Factors such as length of hospital stay and cosmetic outcomes influence treatment decisions in pediatric supracondylar humerus…
