Advances in supracondylar fractures of the humerus treated by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning fixation

[Objective]Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common fracture around elbow in children.In recent years,with the progress of minimally invasive technique,closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation has been widely applied in clinics to reduce the complications and surgical trauma.The relative literature concerning supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children was reviewed to find out the latest progress in classification criteria,the manipulation and reference standard of closed reduction,the configuration and effects of different percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation,and the complications and prevention measures for closed reduction and percutaneous pinning fixation.
