Abstract

Supracondylar fractures are the most common pediatric fractures about the elbow and have a peak incidence in the first decade of life.Isolated supracondylar fractures are extraarticular, lying beyond the proximal extensions of the joint capsule. The regional anatomy includes the brachial artery and median nerve located anteriorly in the antecubital fossa, the ulnar nerve coursing posterior to the medial epicondyle, and the radial nerve anterolaterally. Injuries to these neurovascular structures have all been reported. The most commonly associated fractures are distal radial fractures, but fractures of the scaphoid and proximal humerus do occur.
