Screw fixation for pediatric supracondylar fractures is a viable option to achieve healing and early motion in highly unstable fractures as well as fractures which require (1) increased stability, (2) maintenance of stability during wound checks in the immediate postoperative period and after discontinuation of the cast, or (3) if further exploration like associated vascular injury is warranted.
