Methods: In the C-arm X machine perspective, the use of practices with closed reduction, percutaneous K-wire fixation and plaster external fixation of supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children 160 cases. Results: The clinical healing time of 3.5 ~ 5.0 weeks, an average of 1 month. Follow-up 3 to 24 months, all fractures healed without pinhole infection, no cubitus varus deformity, no Volkmann contracture and no postoperative displacement. In accordance with Jupiter and other equally systematic evaluation of the elbow joint elbow function excellent in 130 cases, good in 26 cases, fair in 4 cases, the fine rate was 97%. Conclusion: Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning plaster external fixation for the treatment of supracondylar fracture of humerus in children, trauma and rapid recovery, less complications, method is simple, suitable for clinical conduct. Supracondylar fracture of the elbow for children, common fractures, the incidence of elbow fractures account for the head of the clinical fractures in children, accounting for 3% [1]. Occurred mostly in children under 10 years of age. Have a history of trauma and elbow symptoms, diagnosis is not difficult, but difficult to effectively fixed, easy to re-displacement of side effects. Our hospital in 2005, using C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, external fixation with Kirschner wire fixation with plaster method of treatment of 160 cases of supracondylar fracture of humerus in children, results were satisfactory. 1 Data and met
