Supracondylar fractures of the humerus in adults

Thirty consecutive supracondylar fractures of the humerus, treated by open reduction and internal fixation over a 4-year period from 1980 to 1984, are reviewed. We feel that anatomical reduction with rigid fixation allowing immediate postoperative movement gives the least morbidity and best results.
