Table 2. Gartland classification .

Type	Description	Displacement	Management
I	Nondisplaced supracondylar fracture	No displacement	Conservative (e.g., casting)
II	Displaced supracondylar fracture with intact posterior cortex	Angulated, but posterior cortex remains intact	Closed reduction and casting
III	Completely displaced supracondylar fracture with no cortical contact	Complete displacement (either posterior or anterior)	Surgical treatment (usually pinning)
IV	Periosteal disruption with instability in both flexion and extension (multidirectional)	Unstable in all planes	Surgical intervention required
