Purpose: To assess the functional outcome of treatment of supracondylar humeral fracture in children. Methods: This is a prospective study and conducted in 250 bedded district hospital attached Colonel Malek medical college, Manikganj from June 2016 to June 2017. 14 patients were supracondylar humeral fracture of age 4-10 yrs in our study. Severity of fracture was classified according to the Gartland system: Type-I and type-II fractures were treated with closed reduction and immobilization with long arm posterior cast in flexion, type-III fractures, closed reduction was first attempted followed by percutaneous kirschner wire fixation under general anaesthesia. If closed reduction failed, open reduction and internal fixation with smooth cross kirschner wire fixation was performed. Results: Patients were followed up for one year. Treatment results were excellent in 7 patients, good in 4 patients, fair in 3 patients, and poor in none of the patient. All Patients were pain-free and none suffered in any activity restriction. Conclusion: Closed reduction is a good treatment option for type I, II and type-III supracondylar humeral fractures.
