Abstract

Of 1,118 supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children treated over a six-year period, 189 are described with a follow-up of more than two years. These patients were treated with closed reduction and percutaneous fixation of the fragments with two wires. Eighty-five per cent of the final results were satisfactory.
