Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures Can Be Safely Treated by Orthopaedic Surgeons With and Without Pediatric Fellowship Training

CONCLUSION: In this study, there was no difference in radiographic outcomes for patients with supracondylar humerus fractures surgically treated by either group. This suggests that pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures may be appropriately treated in communities without a pediatric-fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeon without compromised outcomes.Level of Evidence: III.PMID:34552406 | PMC:PMC8259185
