About this study

Fortyfive children with supracondylar humeral fractures were randomly divided into two groups. One group was treated with 2 crossed pins and the other group with 3 crossed pins. The mean age was 6.04±2.49 (1-12).. The follow-up period was 5 years, with no patients lost to follow up.
