It has been a common observation that children with supracondylar fracture of the humerus tend to demonstrate hyperextensibility of their elbow joints. In this study, we measured and compared the degree of hyperextension of the uninjured elbow of children less than sixteen years old who sustained either a supracondylar or a distal radial fracture. We concluded that children with higher degree of hyperextension in the elbow are more likely to sustain a supracondylar fracture than a distal radius fracture during a fall on the outstretched hand.
肱骨髁上骨折的儿童往往表现出肘关节过度伸展，这是一个常见的观察结果。在本研究中，我们测量并比较了16岁以下因肱骨髁上骨折或桡骨远端骨折而受伤的儿童未受伤肘关节的过度伸展程度。我们得出结论，在伸展的手着地摔倒时，肘关节过度伸展程度较高的儿童比桡骨远端骨折更易发生肱骨髁上骨折。
