Open reduction and K-wire fixation provide very satisfactory outcome in supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children with reduced radiation burden. Moreover, the risk of neurovascular injuries due to manipulations of closed reduction, is minimized while complications related to surgical approaches are insignificant provided there is expertise.
