Abstract
Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is one of the most common elbow injuries in children. Cubitus varus is one of the significant complications.
The authors have treated 29 cases of supracondylar fractures in children by early closed reduction with percutaneous pinning over the past 10 years; 17 patients were examined after an average of 4.1 years after the injury.
In postoperative follow up of this series, no patients had complained of motor disturbances or deformities, especially cubitus varus.
This method is easy to perform, maintains tight fixation and allows for early discharge. For these reasons, we concluded that this method is excellent for the treatment of the supracondylar fractures in children.
