Conditions
Interventions
Conservative treatment by casting
Closed reduction of Gartland type II supracondylar humeral fracture under appropriate analgesia or anesthesia, followed by immobilization using an above-elbow cast. Patients will undergo regular clinical and radiographic follow-up to monitor fracture alignment, healing, and functional recovery.
surgical treatment via percutaneous pinning UGA
surgical treatment vis Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning under general anesthesia. Postoperative care includes clinical and radiographic follow-up to assess fracture healing, alignment, and potential complications.
