Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this study, the relation between hypertrophic scar and keloid (HSc) lesions around incisions and late neurologic deficits was investigated in operated elbow fractures in children. Six elbow fracture patients with HSc lesions were evaluated for neurologic deficits with late onset. The fractures were all closed and treated with open reduction and internal fixation. No neurologic deficit was detected before surgery and in the early postoperative periods. Late neurologic deficits observed in these patients were evaluated according to British Medical Research Committee scoring scale on admission and after therapy. In the reoperations for neurologic deficits, the nerve segments were found to be compressed in intensive scar tissue. Typical pseudoneuromas were observed in the proximal part of compression; however, the corporal integrity of the nerves was not interrupted. External neurolysis were performed in all patients. Excellent improvements in sensory and motor functions were detected and no recurrence occurred in follow-up. Elbow fracture patients, especially those with HSc lesions around their incisions, should be followed up for possible neurologic deficits with late onset.
