Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning under image intensifi er is now the treatment of choice for most of the displaced supra condylar fractures of the humerus in children. 1.1. Objective: To compare the functional outcomes of above el bow backslab versus close reduction and percutaneous pinning in supracondylar humerus fracture in kids. 1.2. Materials And Methods: This Randomized Controlled Trial was conducted in the Department of Orthopedics, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar Pakistan from October 2022 to April 2023 on sixty patients (30 patients with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning = Group A, 30 patients with closed reduction and back slab= Group). Non – Probability Consecutive Sampling Technique was used. Patient age 5 to 14 years, Both genders and Patients pre senting within 48 hours after trauma with Gartland III supracondy lar humerus fracture as per operational definition were included in the study while Patients with open fracture, Patients with vascular injury and Patients with multiple humerus fractures were excluded from the study. 1.3. Results: Age of the patients ranged from 5 to 14 years. Mean age of the patients who received CRPP was 10.04±2.014 years while mean age of the patients who received Backslab was 11.04±1.323 years. Excellent outcomes were observed in 19 pa tients (63.3%) in CRPP group versus 17 patients (56.7%) in back slab group. 1.4. Conclusion: In pediatric patients presenting with type II and III supracondylar fractures, when compared to backslab, CRPP was associated with higher overall satisfactory results according to Flynn’s criteria.
