Supracondylar fracture of the humerus (SCFH) is a common pediatric fracture encountered in orthopedic surgery. The most frequently used pinning methods include cross pinning or lateral pinning with two or three pins. However, complications such as ulnar nerve injury can occur, particularly during medial pinning, which necessitates careful isolation of the ulnar nerve and expert surgical intervention. The objective of this study is to compare nerve injury in cross versus lateral pinning fixation of the SCFH.
