Consideration of management of supracondylar humerus injuries should include a thorough evaluation of limb perfusion as this has consequences for treatment. Two or three lateral pins are usually sufficient to stabilize most fractures however, in very rare cases of persistent instability after third lateral pin, a medial pin may be required.
