   @Ahmed Abulmagd,

   Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning would be the treatment.

   In case above is not feasible open reduction can be done.

   Some also advocate closed reduction and plaster.

   This patient was managed by CR and percutaneus pinning.

   In my institusion we used to do CR and percutaneous pinning or ORIF, i was wondering how will it look after pinning for this low supracondylar fx.
   i remember in one exam how was the examiner mad of me when told him CR for supracondylar fx Gartland III
   ur website is so helpful

   Hi, I would like to know if this fracture is placed in a collar and cuff or just kept in extension as part of treatment?

   @Candice Shah,

   The fracture is treated in plaster or traction. The treatment depends upon the individual and configuration of the fracture

   I treat this fx with single trial of closed reduction and percutaneous pinning and AE posterior slab in full extension so i can assess the carrying angle, If x-ray is less satisfactory i proceed to open reduction and wirefixation through double approach (medial and lateral)

   @Ahmed Abulmagd,

   Yes! That is acceptable method of the treatment.

   Where do you work?
