Which is the finding classically seen in an Xray? Which artery and/or nerve can be affected? Which is the feared complication seen in this kind of fracture?

In supracondylar fracture of the humerus entraps brachial artery and the median nerve. There is a high risk of developing Volkmann's ischemic contracture due to contracture of forearm flexors secondary to compartment syndrome. I can't think of x-ray finding
