Dear Pediatric Orthopedists, I'm seeking guidance on the management of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures, specifically regarding the decision-making process for when to manage non-operatively versus when to refer for surgical fixation in Yemeni hospitals. What are the critical radiographic signs or clinical parameters that tip the balance towards intervention? Any tips for closed reduction techniques in challenging cases? Thank you for your insights.

My general rule for pediatric supracondylar fractures is immediate closed reduction and pinning for any displaced or unstable fracture. Neurovascular status must be assessed meticulously before and after reduction. Don't hesitate to involve a pediatric orthopedic specialist, especially if resources are limited.
