Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children yielded simple fracture management, less neurological and vascular complications, reduced hospitalization day and increased satisfactory out-comes. We treated twenty-seven cases of these fractures(extension type : twenty-five cases) by such a method.

The accurate closed reduction of a supracondylar fracture could be obtained and confirmed by image intensifier. The maintanence of a reduction was stabilized by application of K-wires.

Our study showed that the limitation of range of motion of the elbow joint was not signifiint(three cases, below ten degrees extension block and changes of carrying angle was also minimal three cases, below ten degrees).

In twenty-seven cases, excellent results were recorded in 93% on at least on year follow-up.
