Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fracture Type III

What happens when you jump like a frog from a computer chair to the carpet? You laugh and do it again, what happens the second time? You land wrong and break you upper arm so badly that it takes 2 nights in Children's Hospital, surgery, and 3 pins to put you back together. My 4yr old learned this just weeks before her birthday. Today she got her first real cast, after a week in a half cast. Her choice was colorful of course.

In 2 weeks she gets the pins removed and another cast. In 7wks she will be all done with casts and hospitals...
