    A predictive model for failed closed reduction in pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures was developed and validated across two hospitals.

  • 2

    The study included 179 pediatric patients, with a 34.1% conversion rate to open reduction after attempted closed reduction.

  • 3

    Key predictors of failed closed reduction included displacement direction, preoperative Baumann angle, and medial spike/entrapment sign.

  • 4

    The model demonstrated good discrimination in the development cohort (AUC = 0.842) and acceptable discrimination in the validation cohort (AUC = 0.727).

  • 5

    Further prospective validation is necessary before the model can be routinely implemented in clinical practice.
