Abstract
Both CRPP and ORPP are successful treatment methods in the management of non-complicated and non-comminuted displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in pediatric ages and their outcomes are similar. Incision scar and the long duration of operation are the disadvantages of open surgery. For fiing the fracture, placement of two K-wires from the medial and lateral aspects which cross each other is enough to achieve a good stability. In ORPP practices, lateral incision is a simple and reliable approach despite of the dissatisfying scar tissue formation.
