Supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children are the most common fracture of the elbow. Our work is based on the study of 120 cases of supracondylar humeral fractures collected in the surgery department of the Errachidia Regional Hospital Center between January 2015 and June 2020. The average age of the patients was 6 years old, occurring in 69.1% of cases in boys. The left elbow was most affected (60%), the limb being in flexion in 85.8% of cases. The etiologies were dominated by domestic accidents (70%), with stage III fractures the most frequent (37.5%). Orthopedic treatment was used in 40% of patients and surgery in 60%. Results were satisfactory in 95.9%, poor in 4.1%. The poor results were mainly observed in highly displaced fractures.
