Functional outcomes in paediatric supracondylar fracture humerus treated with percutaneous pinning with cross K-wires

Use of a medial entry pin for the treatment of paediatric supracondylar humerus fractures by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning using cross K-wires is safe as far as iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury and vascular complications are concerned, if an adequate technique is followed. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning with medial and lateral cross K-wires offers a practically feasible, economically viable and an effective treatment method for displaced supracondylar fracture humerus.
