ABSTRACT

Supracondylar humerus fractures with intercondylar extension are uncommon injuries in adults. The present study was conducted to assess supracondylar fractures of humerous in patients. Methods: The present retrospective study was conducted on 70 cases of supracondylar fractures reported to the department of both genders. In all patients, reason of fracture and type were recorded. Results: Gartland type II was seen in 19 males and 14 females and Gartland type III in 21 males and 16 females. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Common reason for fractures was road side accidents seen in 35, domestic violence in 25 and fall in 10. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Supracondylar humerous fractures are common in adults. The most common reason was road side accidents.
