Musculoskeletal trauma accounts for approximately 15% of all childhood injuries (Devito, 1996). Fractures are a common injury sustained with trauma. Due to anatomic, biomechanical, and physiologic differences between adult and pediatric bones, patterns of fractures change as a child's age increases. The treatment of a pediatric fracture may also differ from that of an adult due to these differences. This article discusses one common type of pediatric fracture, the supracondylar fracture. The etiology, incidence, classification system, and treatment of this fracture will be explained. In addition, potential complications and nursing management of a supracondylar fracture are included.
肌肉骨骼创伤约占儿童所有损伤的15%（德维托，1996年）。骨折是创伤中常见的损伤。由于成人和儿童骨骼在解剖学、生物力学和生理学上存在差异，骨折模式会随着儿童年龄的增长而变化。由于这些差异，儿童骨折的治疗方法也可能与成人不同。本文讨论一种常见的儿童骨折类型——髁上骨折。将解释这种骨折的病因、发病率、分类系统和治疗方法。此外，还包括髁上骨折的潜在并发症及护理管理。
