Introduction Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most frequent fractures affecting the paediatric elbow 1 and their correct management is important because they can cause catastrophic complications. Despite there being a clear

Introduction Hip fractures are among the most common fractures in orthopaedics, and are associated with a high social burden and mortality, estimated at approximately 22% at one year. 1 The worldwide incidence of hip fractures is
