Supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children is one of the commonest fractures in children of school age all over the world. The experience of the mode of presentation, mechanism of injury and the different modalities of treatment in the University College Hospital, Ibadan is presented. The results suggest that severely displaced supracondylar fractures in this environment are better managed with open reduction and internal fixation.
