OBJECTIVES: This study aims to review flexion type supracondylar humerus @entity174 in @entity1 and treatment options. @entity1 AND METHODS: Forty-seven @entity1 (26 males, 21 females; mean age 8.6  3.2 years; range 4 to 15 years) who admitted to and were hospitalized in a pediatric orthopedics clinic between January 2002 and January 2014 due to flexion type supracondylar humerus @entity174 were included in this retrospective study. @entity174 were classified according to Wilkins modification of Gartland system. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) were administered in all @entity1 with type 2 and 3 @entity174 . An overhead traction or open reduction was applied when closed reduction could not be achieved with three manipulations. @entity1 were evaluated clinically and radiologically. The results were graded according to Flynn criteria. RESULTS: Four @entity1 with type 1 @entity174 were treated conservatively. Of the remaining @entity1 , we were able to perform CRPP successfully in 36 (83.7%). While six @entity1 (14%) were treated with open reduction and internal fixation, one @entity1 (2.1%) was treated with overhead traction. The results were excellent or good in 44 @entity1 (93.7%). CONCLUSION: Compared with extension type @entity174 , these @entity174 are seen in older @entity1 and are rarer. One should be prepared to perform open reduction especially for type 3 @entity174 . In our study, results of @entity1 with type 3 @entity174 treated with CRPP were superior.
