Hello Mark,
8 weeks cast immobilization - isn't it too long?
I observe the problem with elbow mobilization among the kids with the humerus supracondular fractures even after 4 weeks in the cast.
Will appreciate your comments. maybe your physio exchange the plasters in flexion/ extension position to prevent the elbow stiffness?
Kind Regards,
Evgueny

Hi,
Never
saw stiffness(on the long term) after suprac fx in kids (I did more than 200).
In this specific case I believe that union will be achieved only after 6-8 weeks of immobilization.Standard protocol for suprac fx in children is 3 weeks immobilization , but for lateral condyle at least 4 weeks, in case of nonunion prolonged immobilization should be applied. I had 2 similar cases that were succesfully treated with fixation in situ and 8 weeks immobilization.You will not damage capsule by this technique , therefore HTO and stiffness are less likely to appear.
