Emergency Department Discharge for Type II Supracondylar Fractures - PROSPR Phase 5

Sponsor: The Hospital for Sick Children

Summary

The knowledge that patients will not suffer untreated pain at home is central to managing supracondylar fracture (SCF) patients on an outpatient basis at a time of limited healthcare resources. The investigators hypothesize that children with uncomplicated Type II supracondylar fractures (SCF) can be sent home from the Emergency Department (ED) in a temporary cast, and that fracture pain can be safely managed opioid-free at home both before and after surgical repair. The investigators further hypothesize that managing such patients on an ambulatory out-patient basis will increase hospital-bed availability without compromising surgical outcomes.
