Background: A supracondylar fracture of the humerus is a type of break in the bone located just above the elbow, involving the distal humerus (the lower end of the upper arm bone). The present study was conducted to compare outcome of supracondylar fracture of humerus treated with crossed pin and lateral pins. Materials & Methods: 68 cases of supracondylar fracture of humerus of both genders were divided into 2 groups of 34 each. Group I were treated with crossed pin and group II with lateral pins. Parameters such as the mode of injury, the affected sideand complications were recorded. Results: Out of 68 patients, males were 30 and females were 38. In group Iand group II, side was right in 18 and 17 and left in 16 and 17. Mode of injury was fall in 25 and 29, RTA in 7 and 3 and violencein 2 each. Complications were radial nerve palsy in 1 and 2, ulnar nerve palsyin 3 and 5, pin tract infection in 0 and 2 and cubitus varus deformity in 1 each. Outcome was excellent in 30 and 26, good in 4 and 6 and fair in 0 and 2 patients respectively. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Because crossover pinning was more stable than two parallel lateral pinning, it was judged to be superior.
