Brief summary
This study compares the efficacy of K wire when inserted in Cross V/s Lateral Direction in Supracondylar fractures of Gartland Type 3 in children. A comparative study.
Detailed description
This is a randomized control trial being done to compare the efficacy of Cross V/S Laterally Placed K wire In Supracondylar fractures to calculate and copmpare the Post K wire iinsertion range of motion . It is also intended to calculate the frequency of loss of reduction after lateral K wire in terms of Skaggs Criteria . This study intends to find the better method of K wire fixatio to avoid the post fixation loss of reduction.
Interventions
PROCEDURECross K Wire Fixation
In this intervention the K wire will be fixed in a Manner of Cross at the site of frature.
PROCEDURELateral K wire Fixation
In this arm of intervention the K wire will be fixed laterally at the site of fracture.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| frequency of post K wire fixation loss of reduction | 2 months | It is comonly noted that after lateral K wire fixation there is more frequent loss of reduction as compared to cross fixation method. The frequency of loss of reduction will be noted after the intervention. |
