Gartland Type IIa Supracondylar Humerus Fractures: Outcomes of Attempted Nonoperative Management.

Background: The optimal treatment of Gartland type IIa supracondylar humerus fractures remains controversial. We report the results of a series of patients with type IIa fractures who underwent closed reduction and immobilization using conscious sedation in the emergency department. Our goal was to identify variables associated with fractures that were successfully managed nonoperatively.
