Immobilization in cast has been standard treatment for un displaced supracondylar fracture of humerus. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning provides the best cosmetic and functional results. The fracture can be fixed with pinning in any desired position. Use of medial and lateral pin fixation provides more stability. The pins must continue into the opposite cortex to provide good fixation. Smooth pins are preferred and restoration of movements is full range with closed pinning than open reduction.

“…Supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children have been treated by various methods, including manipulation and immobilisation, [11][12][13] continuous traction, 1,6,12,[14][15][16][17][18] percutaneous pinning 10,11,17,19,20 and open reduction. [21][22][23][24] Clinical results appear generally good using any of these approaches.…”

In 1980, we developed a specially designed brace for treating supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children, along with an easy and safe technique of reduction by skeletal traction. This method, which takes into consideration only the medial tilting and anterior angulation of the distal fragment, achieves complete reduction, ignoring any lateral, posterior and minor rotational displacements of the fragment. Skeletal traction is applied through a screw inserted into the olecranon and the angulation at the fracture site is reduced regardless of the anatomical position without manipulation. We treated 193 children with displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus using this method between 1980 and 2001. Only four children (2%) developed cubitus varus. The majority obtained an excellent range of movement at the elbow; one had a 25 degree limitation of flexion. This technique is an effective and easy method of treating supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children.
