The type of fracture shown in the photograph above represents supra condylar fracture of humerus.
A supracondylar humerus fracture is a fracture of the distal humerous just above the epicondyles. While relatively rare in adults it is one of the more common fractures to occur in children and is often associated with the development of serious complications.
