Mostly caused by fall on outstretched elbow or direct blow to the elbow and mostly treated by k-wire in the children due to good results post-operatively. The objective of my study was to assess the functional outcome of k -wire fixation after supracondylar fracture of humerus (type-III) following six months. A descriptive case-series, a total sample of 20 cases of k-wire fixation after supracondylar fracture of humerus following six months in the children were included in the study, whose functional range were within 90-120 children of both sex, between age under 12 years were included. Study results showed 40% children with no difficulty, 45% with mild difficulty, and 15% with moderate difficulty. Overall, there were good functional outcome. The Current study concluded that, there was good Functional outcome of supracondylar fracture of humerus (type-III) with k-wire fixation following six months in children.]]>
