Remodeling of Sagittal Plane Malunion After Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures
Conclusions:
The authors rejected their null hypothesis. Children do have the capacity to remodel radiographically measurable sagittal plane malunion of SCHFs. Children younger than 5 years of age can remodel 100% displacement of the center of the capitellum, whereas those over 8 years of age have minimal remodeling capacity.
