Little is known about the risk factors for repeat operative procedures. A retrospective chart review of 709 patients treated for a displaced supracondylar humerus fracture was performed to identify risk factors for return to the operating room during the initial post-operative period. Deviations of routine fracture care were recorded and complication rates were compared between Gartland type 2 and 3 fractures using logistic regression. Type 3 fractures were found to have a higher complication rate, and, specifically, more peri-operative nerve palsies, more likely to need to return to the operating room for hardware removal, to lose fracture reduction, and require a return to the operating room for any reason. Five risk factors which may require returning to the operating room were identified: younger patient age, left sided fractures, type 3 fractures, peri-operative nerve palsy, and post-operative infection. In conclusion, Gartland type 3 supracondylar humerus fractures are associated with more complications then type 2 fractures. Risk factors for the need to return to the operating room in the post-operative period include: younger patient age, left sided fractures, type 3 fractures, peri-operative nerve palsy, and post-operative infection. Patients with these risk factors should be considered at risk for return to the OR and fracture fixation and follow up protocols should be adjusted for this risk.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence :<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p> Prognostic Study, Level II.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2174\/1874325001509010139","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,27]],"date-time":"2015-05-27T05:42:32Z","timestamp":1432705352000},"page":"139-142","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Complications and Predictors of Need for Return to the Operating Room in the Treatment of Supracondylar Humerus Fractures in Children"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Matthew E","family":"Oetgen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gudrun E","family":"Mirick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lara","family":"Atwater","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John F","family":"Lovejoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"refR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pcl.2005.10.003","volume":"53","author":"Carson S","year":"2006","unstructured":"Carson S, Woolridge DP, Colletti J, Kilgore K. \n                    Pediatric upper extremity injuries \n                    Pediatr Clin North Am  \n                    2006;
