Kocher supracondylar pinning RCTThe Journal of bone and joint surgery. American volume 2007
Lateral entry compared with medial and lateral entry pin fixation for completely displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children. A randomized clinical trial.
Neither group had a major loss of reduction or an iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury; mild loss of reduction, radiographic angles, alignment and elbow motion did not differ significantly between lateral-entry and crossed pinning.
