Abstract

Supracondylar humerus fractures are among the most common fractures in children, usually occurring before 7 years of age [1]. These fractures are extension type or flexion type, the extension type is more common [2,3]. According to displacement, Gartland classification divides these fractures into three types; Type I is a nondisplaced fracture, type II is a displaced fracture with intact posterior cortex, type III is a displaced fracture with no cortical contact [4]. Type I are treated in above elbow cast with serial radiographs to check for displacement. Type II and III are usually treated by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. Open reduction is done in case of failed closed reduction [5].
