Özet

Objective: While surgical treatment is the most accepted treatment method for displaced supracondylar humerus fractures in children, there is little data about immobilization method after surgery. The aim of the study is to determine whether there is any difference in preventing loss of reduction between long-arm cast and long-arm splint following pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture surgery.
