A new method to correct rotational malalignment for closed reduction and percutaneous pinning in pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures

Open reduction is often necessary for the treatment of supracondylar humeral fractures in children in which rotational malalignment cannot be corrected by closed means. We introduce a new closed reduction technique for the correction of this deformity using a Kirschner wire as a joystick.
