Completely displaced (posterormedial displacement) supracondylar fracture.
Case Discussion
This severely displaced and rotated supracondylar is consistent with a type IIIA fracture (no obvious soft tissue interposition). Clearly, neurovascular compromise is a concern in this case and prompt reduction and internal fixation will be required.
