Children from 4 to 14 years of age with supracondylar fractures of the humerus - extension type are included. The total number of patients treated at the Clinic for Pediatric Surgery was 230.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> The results of the treatment were evaluated after the last control examination six months later. We noticed postoperative neurological damage in 10 cases (4.85%). In 14 patients (6.8%) we noticed long term deformities such as cubitus varus or cubitus valgus. Infection at the entering place of the needles occurred in 4 patients (1.94%), which did not indicate premature extraction of the needles and conversion of the treatment.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> As a conclusion, we can stress that our outcomes in treatment of dislocated suparacondylar fractures of the humerus in children meet the world standards.</p> ER -
