Gartland classification is used for which pediatric elbow fracture?
Correct Answer:
Supracondylar humerus fracture
Explanation:
Gartland classification is used for pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures. This system groups elbow injuries in children by how far the distal fragment is displaced and whether the posterior cortex remains, which helps decide treatment—from simple immobilization to surgical reduction and pinning. It specifically describes fractures at the distal humerus just above the elbow, the most common pediatric elbow fracture. The other options involve different bones or areas (thigh bone, radiocapitellar area, or distal humeral metaphysis) and are not described by the Gartland scheme.
