My kiddo broke his arm

Supracondylar Humerus Fracture: The supracondylar fractures are the most common type of elbow fracture. They occur through the growth plate of the humerus (above the elbow joint). The most common cause of these injuries is a fall onto an outstretched arm--often a jungle gym. These injuries most commonly occur in children between the ages of 5 and 7 years old.

My son broke his arm. He's going to be five in two weeks so he almost fits the age above. He fell from a back yard playhouse with the help of a cousin.

After the pins were placed
