Abstract
A closed reduction technique using a posteriorly inserted intrafocal Kirschner wire for unstable Gartland type-III supracondylar humeral fractures in children is described. This surgical technique has been used in 7 patients. None had neurovascular complications, and all achieved bone union and had good or excellent functional and cosmetic results.
