Supracondylar humeral fracture
Supracondylar humeral fractures are the most frequent pediatric elbow injury, usually in children older than two and younger than ten years of age 1-5. Plain radiographs are the most crucial tool for the initial diagnosis; however, in some cases, CT imaging is superior to demonstrate the configuration of these fractures, which may impact the therapeutic conduct 1-6. The Gartland classification is the most accepted to characterize supracondylar fractures and guide treatment 1-5. Radiologists should adopt the same classification systems used by orthopedic surgeons to ensure the appropriate management 2,6.
This case is a typical example of a Gartland type I non-displaced supracondylar humeral fracture.
