Ten patients with moderately to severely displaced supracondylar fractures were retrospectively reviewed. All were treated with skeletal traction with the arm positioned at the side. As a result of this treatment, eight of the ten patients had an excellent result, with restoration of both full range of motion and normal carrying angle.
