I. INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has developed this Appropriate Use
Criteria (AUC) to determine appropriateness of various health care services for pediatric
supracondylar fractures. An “appropriate” healthcare service is one for which the expected health
benefits exceed the expected negative consequences by a sufficiently wide margin.2 Evidence-
based information, in conjunction with the clinical expertise of physicians from multiple medical
specialties, was used to develop the criteria in order to improve patient care and obtain the best
outcomes while considering the subtleties and distinctions necessary in making clinical
decisions. The foundation for this AUC is the 2011 Treatment of Pediatric Supracondylar
Humerus Fractures Clinical Practice Guideline, which can be accessed via the following link:
http://www.aaos.org/research/guidelines/SupracondylarFracture/SupracondylarFracture_Guideli
ne.asp
The purpose of this AUC is to help determine the appropriateness of clinical practice guideline
recommendations for the heterogeneous patient population routinely seen in practice. The best
available scientific evidence is synthesized with collective expert opinion on topics where gold
standard randomized clinical trials are not available or are inadequately detailed for identifying
distinct patient types. When there is evidence corroborated by consensus that expected benefits
substantially outweigh potential risks, exclusive of cost, a procedure is determined to be
appropriate. The AAOS uses the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method (RAM).2 Our process
includes these steps: reviewing the results of the evidence analysis, compiling a list of clinical
vignettes, and having an expert panel comprised of representatives from multiple medical
specialties to determine the appropriateness of each of the clinical indications for treatment as
“Appropriate,” “May be Appropriate,” or “Rarely Appropriate.”
To access an intuitive and more user-friendly version of the appropriate use criteria for this topic
online, please visit our AUC web-based application at www.aaos.org/aucapp.
These criteria should not be construed as including all indications or excluding indications
reasonably directed to obtaining the same results. The criteria intend to address the most
common clinical scenarios facing all appropriately trained surgeons and all qualified physicians
managing patients under consideration for managing pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures.
The ultimate judgment regarding any specific criteria should address all circumstances presented
by the patient and the needs and resources particular to the locality or institution. It is also
important to state that these criteria were developed as guidelines and are not meant to supersede
clinician expertise and experience or patient preference.
INTERPRETING THE APPROPRIATENESS RATINGS
To prevent misuse of these criteria, it is extremely important that the user of this document
understands how to interpret the appropriateness ratings. The appropriateness rating scale ranges
from one to nine and there are three main range categories that determine how the median rating
is defined (i.e. 1-3 = “Rarely Appropriate”, 4-6 = “May Be Appropriate”, and 7-9 =
“Appropriate”). Before these appropriate use criteria are consulted, the user should read through
and understand all contents of this document.

ASSUMPTIONS OF THE WRITING PANEL
BEFORE THESE APPROPRIATE USE CRITERIA ARE CONSULTED, IT IS ASSUMED
THAT:
1. The patient is healthy enough to undergo surgery if indicated.
2. A thorough history and physical examination of the patient has been conducted with
special attention to the integumentary system, other injuries, neurologic and vascular
exam and other medical problems. If the patient is too young or incapable of cooperating,
this will be noted in the patient record.
3. Adequate radiographs have been obtained and examined by the clinician.
4. The surgeon or surgeons who care for this child can perform the appropriate orthopaedic
procedures.
5. The surgery, when indicated, will be performed in a timely fashion to allow ideal
treatment of the fracture with special consideration given to neurovascular status, soft
tissue swelling, and family situation.
6. The surgeon will perform the surgery in an appropriate location. Some supracondylar
humerus fractures patients may require in-hospital monitoring.
7. The facility has proper implants, ancillary equipment available, and capable support
personnel.
8. If a patient has an open fracture, antibiotic administration and appropriate wound care are
performed in a timely fashion.
9. The patient can be splinted in a position of comfort and monitored adequately while
awaiting operating room (OR) availability.
10. The fracture occurs in a patient with open physes and is a pediatric pattern that does not
require open reduction and dual plating construct (e.g. an adult pattern intercondylar
distal humerus fracture).
11. Particular care will be taken in children before distal humeral epiphyseal ossification (e.g.
newborns, infants, and toddlers) to assess for the possibility of transphyseal or low
supracondylar humerus fracture (arthrogram, MRI, etc.).
12. Those patients, especially under the age of two, with fracture severity inconsistent with
the described mechanism should be assessed for the possibility that this fracture resulted
from non-accidental injury.
13. Type III fractures and those with significant pain or swelling will be monitored in-
hospital by a qualified clinician for changes in neurologic, vascular or pain status until
access to the OR is available.
14. The facility has the ability to evaluate and treat compartment syndrome emergently.
Patient is NPO ready for anesthesia; however, NPO status should not delay patient’s
surgery if the limb is in jeopardy.
15. Direct manipulation at fracture site through an incision or preexisting wound is
considered open reduction.
16. The open soft tissue envelope refers to the soft tissue associated with the supracondylar
humerus fracture and no other associated injuries.
17. For closed fractures, open reduction assumes closed measures were tried, and failed.
18. For new onset nerve deficit after fracture treatment, the surgeon will reassess the fracture
reduction and fixation for possible nerve injury.

ETIOLOGY Supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children are the result of trauma to the elbow, most
often a fall from height or related to sports or leisure activities.3
INCIDENCE Supracondylar humerus fractures are widely considered the most common fracture of the elbow
in children. The annual rate of children who present with supracondylar fractures has been
estimated at 177.3 per 100,000.3
BURDEN OF DISEASE There are many components to consider when calculating the overall cost of treatment for
pediatric supracondylar fractures of the humerus.4 The main considerations are the relative cost
and effectiveness of each treatment option. However, hidden costs for pediatric patients must
also be considered. These costs include the additional home care required for a patient, the costs
of rehabilitation and of missed school for the patient, child care costs if both parents work, and
time off of work required by one or both parents to care for the pediatric patient.
EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL IMPACT The potential deformity of the arm at the elbow including varus deformity, prolonged loss of
mobility, and absence from school often associated with the treatment of pediatric supracondylar
fractures of the humerus can have adverse physical, social, and emotional consequences for the
child as well as the child’s family. Treatments that minimize these concerns are therefore
desirable.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS, HARMS, AND CONTRAINDICATIONS Most treatments are associated with some known risks, especially invasive and operative
treatments. Contraindications vary widely based on the treatment administered. A particular
concern when managing supracondylar humerus fractures is the potential for this fracture to
cause vascular compromise of the limb, which can lead to long term loss of nerve and/or muscle
function. Additional factors may affect the physician’s choice of treatment including but not
limited to associated injuries the patient may present with as well as the individual’s co-
morbidities, skeletal maturity, and/or specific patient characteristics including obesity. Clinician
input based on experience increases the probability of identifying patients who will benefit from
specific treatment options. The individual patient’s family dynamic will also influence treatment
decisions therefore, discussion of available treatments and procedures applicable to the
individual patient rely on mutual communication between the patient’s guardian and physician,
weighing the potential risks and benefits for that patient. Once the patient’s guardian has been
informed of available therapies and has discussed these options with his/her child’s physician, an
informed decision can be made.

II. METHODS
This AUC for Management of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures is based on a review
of the available literature regarding treatment of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures and a
list of clinical scenarios (i.e. criteria) constructed and voted on by experts in orthopaedic surgery
and other relevant medical fields. This section describes the methods adapted from the
RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method (RAM)2. This section also includes the activities and
compositions of the various panels that developed, defined, reviewed, and voted on the criteria.
Three panels participated in the development of the AAOS AUC for Management of Pediatric
Supracondylar Humerus Fractures (see list on page i). Members of the writing panel developed a
list of 220 patient scenarios and 14 treatments. The review panel reviewed these scenarios and
treatments independently to ensure that they were representative of patients and scenarios
clinicians are likely to encounter. The voting panel participated in two rounds of voting. During
the first round of voting, the voting panel was given approximately one month to independently
rate the appropriateness of the ten treatments for the 220 patient scenarios as ‘Appropriate’,
‘May Be Appropriate’, or ‘Rarely Appropriate’ via an electronic ballot. After the first round of
appropriateness ratings were submitted, AAOS staff calculated the median ratings for each
patient scenario and specific treatment. An in-person voting panel meeting was held in
Rosemont, IL on August 12th
of 2014. During this meeting, voting panel members addressed the
scenarios/treatments which resulted in disagreement (definition of disagreement can be found in
Table 3). The voting panel members were asked to rerate their first round ratings during and after
the voting panel meeting, only if they were persuaded to do so by the discussion and available
evidence. Voting occurred during the in-person meeting and continued for approximately one
week following the meeting. The voting panel determined appropriateness by rating scenarios
(i.e. criteria) as ‘Appropriate’, ‘May Be Appropriate’, or ‘Rarely Appropriate’. There was no
attempt to obtain consensus about appropriateness.
AAOS Appropriate Use Criteria Section, the AAOS Council on Research and Quality, and the
AAOS Board of Directors sequentially approved the Appropriate Use Criteria for Management
of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures. AAOS submits this AUC to the National
Guidelines Clearinghouse and, in accordance with the National Guidelines Clearinghouse
criteria, will update or retire this AUC within five years of the publication date.
DEVELOPING CRITERIA Members of the AUC for Management of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures writing
panel, who are orthopaedic specialists in treating knee-related injuries/diseases, developed
clinical scenarios using the following guiding principles:
Patient scenarios must include a broad spectrum of patients that may be eligible
for treatment of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures [comprehensive]
Patient indications must classify patients into a unique scenario [mutually
exclusive]
Patient indications must consistently classify similar patients into the same
scenario [reliable, valid indicators]

AAOS Evidence-Based Medicine Unit
AAOS AUC Web-Based Application: www.aaos.org/aucapp
The writing panel developed the scenarios by categorizing patients in terms of indications
evident during the clinical decision making process (Figure 1). These scenarios relied upon
definitions and general assumptions, mutually agreed upon by the writing panel during the
development of the scenarios. These definitions and assumptions were necessary to provide
consistency in the interpretation of the clinical scenarios among experts voting on the scenarios
and readers using the final criteria.
FORMULATING INDICATIONS AND SCENARIOS
The AUC writing panel began the development of the scenarios by identifying clinical
indications typical of patients commonly presenting with pediatric supracondylar humerus
fractures in clinical practice. Indications are most often parameters observable by the clinician,
including symptoms or results of diagnostic tests. Additionally, “human factor” (e.g. activity
level) or demographic variables can be considered.
Indications identified in clinical trials (derived from patient selection criteria) included in AAOS
Clinical Practice Guidelines served as a starting point for the writing panel and ensured that these
Appropriate Use Criteria referred to the evidence base for the Treatment of Pediatric
Supracondylar Humerus Fractures CPG. The writing panel considered this initial list and other
Indication:
Observable/appreciable patient

Classification:
Class/category of an indication;

Clinical Scenario:
Combination of a single
classification from each indication;

indications based on their clinical expertise and selected the most clinically relevant indications
(Table 4). The writing panel then defined distinct classes for each indication in order to
stratify/categorize the indication (Table 4).
The writing panel organized these indications into a matrix of clinical scenarios that addressed
all combinations of the classifications. The writing panel was given the opportunity to remove
any scenarios that rarely occur in clinical practice, but agreed that all scenarios were clinically
relevant. The major clinical decision making indications chosen by the writing panel divided the
matrix of clinical scenarios into chapters, as follows: fracture type, vascular status, associated
nerve injuries, soft tissue envelope, ipsilateral radius and/or ulna fracture, and degree of swelling
(Table 4).
CREATING DEFINITIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The AUC for Management of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures writing panel
constructed concise and explicit definitions for the indications and classifications. This
standardization helped ensure the way that the writing panel defined fracture type, vascular
status, associated nerve injuries, soft tissue envelope, ipsilateral radius and/or ulna fracture, and
degree of swelling was consistent among those reading the clinical scenario matrix or the final
criteria. Definitions drew explicit boundaries when possible and were based on standard medical
practice or existing literature.
Additionally, the writing panel formulated a list of general assumptions in order to provide more
consistent interpretations of a scenario (see Assumptions of the Writing Panel). These
assumptions differed from definitions in that they identified circumstances that exist outside of
the control of the clinical decision making process.
Assumptions also addressed the use of existing published literature regarding the effectiveness of
treatment and/or the procedural skill level of physicians. Additionally, assumptions highlighted
intrinsic methods described in this document such as the role of cost considerations in rating
appropriateness or the validity of the definition of appropriateness. The main goal of assumptions
was to focus scenarios so that they apply to the average patient presenting to an average
physician at an average facility.1
The definitions and assumptions should provide all readers with a common starting point in
interpreting the clinical scenarios. This list of definitions and assumptions accompanied the
matrix of clinical scenarios in all stages of the development of this AUC and appears in the
Assumptions of the Writing Panel section of this document.
VOTING PANEL MODIFICATIONS TO WRITING PANEL MATERIALS
At the start of the in-person voting panel meeting, the voting panel was reminded that they have
the ability to amend the original writing panel materials if the amendments resulted in more
clinically relevant and practical criteria. In order to amend the original materials, the voting panel
members were instructed that a member must make a motion to amend and another member
must “second” that motion, after which a vote is conducted. If a majority of voting panel
members voted “yes” to amend the original materials, the amendments were accepted.

AAOS AUC Web-Based Application: www.aaos.org/aucapp
The voting panel opted to make the following amendments/additions to the original AUC
materials:
1) Expanded the original “open” option under the “Soft Tissue Envelope” chapter
heading to “Open-Appears Contaminated” and “Open-Concern for Contamination
and/or Significant Soft Tissue Injury”.
2) Remove scenarios reflecting Type II fractures with open wounds due to clinical
rarity/irrelevance.
3) Remove scenarios reflecting transphyseal fractures with open wounds due to clinical
rarity/irrelevance.
4) Added assumptions 15-18 (see Assumptions List).
5) Redefined the vascular status sub-indications to read:
a) Non-perfused hand (one that is cold, white, and capillary refill > 3 seconds)
without palpable distal pulse
b) Perfused hand (one that is warm, pink, and capillary refill < 3 seconds) without
palpable distal pulse
c) Perfused hand (one that is warm, pink, and capillary refill < 3 seconds) with
palpable distal pulse

LITERATURE REVIEW Concurrent with the writing panel developing the criteria, the AAOS Evidence-Based Medicine
Unit undertook a literature review based on the results of the AAOS Clinical Practice Guideline
on Treatment of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures and all literature published after the
release of the clinical practice guideline related to the treatment of pediatric supracondylar
humerus fractures. This literature review informed the decisions relevant to the indications
identified by the writing panel when they were available and necessary. The literature review
also considered lower quality evidence when the best available evidence (i.e. randomized control
trials) did not contain information relevant to the clinical scenarios. The full results of the
literature review can be reviewed by visiting the AAOS PEER (Presentation and Evaluation of
Evidence-Based Research) Tool at http://aaos.webauthor.com/go/peer/.
AAOS published the Clinical Practice Guideline on the Treatment of Pediatric Supracondylar
Humerus Fractures on September 24th
, 2011.
REVIEWING SCENARIOS After the writing panel developed the scenarios, the AUC for Management of Pediatric
Supracondylar Humerus Fractures review panel reviewed the proposed chapters in order to
ensure that they were representative of patients and scenarios clinicians are likely to encounter.
The review panel was comprised of both orthopaedic surgeons who routinely perform treatments
for pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures and other specialties that may refer patients with
pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures to a specialist. No member of this panel participated in
the writing panel’s initial development of the scenarios or participated in the voting panel’s
appropriateness rating of the scenarios.
Review panel members considered the lists of scenarios, definitions, assumptions, and the
literature review associated with each scenario. Each independent reviewer suggested potential
modifications to the content or structure of the lists and literature review. The writing panel
provided the final determination of modifications to the indications, scenarios, assumptions, and
literature review that would be included in the materials sent to the voting panel.
DETERMINING APPROPRIATENESS VOTING PANEL
A multidisciplinary panel of clinicians was assembled to determine the appropriateness of
treatments for pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures. This group consisted of approximately
50% specialists and 50% non-specialists. Two non-voting moderators, who are orthopaedic
surgeons but are not specialists in the treatment of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures,
facilitated the voting panel. The moderators were familiar with the methods and procedures of
AAOS Appropriate Use Criteria and led the panel (as non-voters) in discussions. Additionally,
no member of the voting panel was involved in the development (writing panel) or independent
review (review panel) of the scenarios.
The voting panel used a modified Delphi procedure to determine appropriateness ratings. The
voting panel participated in two rounds of voting while considering evidence-based information
provided in the literature review. While cost is often a relevant consideration, panelists focused

their appropriateness ratings on the effectiveness of treatment for pediatric supracondylar
humerus fractures.
RATING APPROPRIATENESS
When rating the appropriateness of a scenario, the voting panel considered the following
definition:
“An appropriate treatment for pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures is one for which the
treatment is generally acceptable, is a reasonable approach for the indication, and is likely to
improve the patient’s health outcomes or survival.”
They then rated each scenario using their best clinical judgment, taking into consideration the
available evidence, for an average patient presenting to an average physician at an average
facility as follows:
Table 1 Interpreting the 9-Point Appropriateness Scale
Rating Explanation
7-9
Appropriate:
Appropriate for the indication provided, meaning treatment is
generally acceptable and is a reasonable approach for the
indication and is likely to improve the patient’s health outcomes
or survival.
4-6
May Be Appropriate:
Uncertain for the indication provided, meaning treatment may
be acceptable and may be a reasonable approach for the
indication, but with uncertainty implying that more research
and/or patient information is needed to further classify the
indication.
1-3
Rarely Appropriate:
Rarely an appropriate option for management of patients in this
population due to the lack of a clear benefit/risk advantage;
rarely an effective option for individual care plans; exceptions
should have documentation of the clinical reasons for
proceeding with this care option (i.e. procedure is not generally
acceptable and is not generally reasonable for the indication).
Each panelist uses the scale below to record their response for each scenario:

ROUND ONE VOTING
The first round of voting occurred after completion of the independent review of the scenarios by
the review panel and approval of the final indications, scenarios, and assumptions by the writing
panel. The voting panel rated the scenarios electronically using a personalized ballot created by
AAOS staff using the AAOS AUC Electronic Ballot Tool. There was no interaction between
panel members while completing the first round of voting. Panelists considered the following
materials:
The instructions for rating appropriateness
The completed literature review, that is appropriately referenced when evidence is
available for a scenario
The list of indications, definitions, and assumptions, to ensure consistency in the
interpretation of the clinical scenarios
ROUND TWO VOTING
The second round of voting occurred after the in-person voting panel meeting on August 12th
,
2014. Before the in-person meeting started, each panelist received a personalized document that
included their first round ratings along with summarized results of the first-round ratings that
resulted in disagreement. These results indicated the frequency of ratings for a scenario for all
panelists. The document contained no identifying information for other panelists’ ratings. The
moderator also used a document that summarized the results of the panelists’ first round voting.
These personalized documents served as the basis for discussions of scenarios which resulted in
disagreement.
During the discussion, the voting panel members were allowed to record a new rating for any
scenarios if they were persuaded to do so by the discussion or the evidence. Additionally, voting
panel members were allowed to submit any amended ratings (i.e. second round ratings) for one
week after the in-person meeting. After the final ratings were submitted, AAOS staff used the
AAOS AUC Electronic Ballot Tool to export the median values and level of agreement for all
voting items. There was no attempt to obtain consensus among the panel members.
FINAL RATINGS
Using the median value of the second round ratings, AAOS staff determined the final levels of
appropriateness. Disagreement among raters can affect the final rating. Agreement and
disagreement were determined using the BIOMED definitions of Agreement and Disagreement,
as reported in the RAND/UCLA Appropriate Method User’s Manual 2, for a panel of 14-16
voting members (see Table 2 below). For this panel size, disagreement is defined as when ≥ 5
members’ appropriateness ratings fell within the appropriate (7-9) and rarely appropriate (1-3)
ranges for any scenario (i.e. ≥ 5 members’ ratings fell between 1-3 and ≥ 5 members’ ratings fell
between 7-9 on any given scenario and its treatment). If there is still disagreement in the voting
panel ratings after the second round of voting, that voting item is labeled as “5” regardless of
median score. Agreement is defined as ≤ 4 panelists rated outside of the 3-point range containing
the median.

REVISION PLANS These criteria represent a cross-sectional view of current use of treatments for pediatric
supracondylar humerus fractures and may become outdated as new evidence becomes available
or clinical decision making indicators are improved. In accordance with the standards of the
National Guideline Clearinghouse, AAOS will update or withdraw these criteria in five years.
AAOS will issue updates in accordance with new evidence, changing practice, rapidly emerging
treatment options, and new technology.

Results
The following Appropriate Use Criteria tables contain the final appropriateness ratings assigned
by the sixteen members of the voting panel. Patient characteristics are found under the column
titled “Scenario”. The Appropriate Use Criteria for each patient scenario can be found within
each of the 10 treatment rows. These criteria are formatted by appropriateness labels (i.e.
“R”=Rarely Appropriate, “M”=May Be Appropriate, and “A”=Appropriate), median rating, and
+ or - indicating agreement or disagreement amongst the voting panel, respectively.
Out of 3080 total voting items (i.e. 220 patient scenarios x 14 treatments), 678 (22%) voting
items were rated as “Appropriate”, 431 (14%) voting items were rated as “May Be Appropriate”,
and 1971 (64%) voting items were rated as “Rarely Appropriate” (Figure 1). Additionally, the
voting panel members were in agreement on 2125 (69%) voting items and were in disagreement
on 5 (0.16%) voting items (Figure 2). For a within treatment breakdown of appropriateness
ratings, please refer to Figure 3.
