Core Tip	This retrospective study evaluated 399 pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures treated at Al-Noor Specialist Hospital, Makkah, from 2021 to 2025. Mean patient age was 5.8 years, with slight male predominance (54.1%). Most fractures involved the left arm (63.4%) and were classified as Gartland type III (54.9%). Surgical fixation was primarily performed using percutaneous pin fixation, particularly lateral-entry pinning. Median hospital stay was 2 days, and the overall complication rate was low (5.5%), most commonly ulnar neuropathy. No significant predictors of poor outcomes were identified. These findings support percutaneous pinning as a safe and effective treatment for displaced pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures.
