Abstract

Supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHF) are the most common elbow injuries in children, typically occurring between the ages of 5 and 7. They result from falls onto an outstretched hand and often require urgent attention due to the risk of neurovascular complications. Timely diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to prevent long-term functional impairment and deformities such as cubitus varus.
