Abstract
Supracondylar humeral fractures (SHF) are the most common fractures associated with concomitant neurovascular injuries in children. Pink pulseless
hand (PPH) labels SHF presenting without a pulse in a wellperfused hand. Management of PPH after successful SHF reduction remains controversial. Some advocate „watchful waiting”, whereas others favor early exploration. We present a case of a 2-year-old boy with PPH and intermittent
claudications 6 weeks after successful SHF reduction.
