Lateral Humeral Condylar Fractures in Children

摘要: Fifty-three patients with 56 fractures of the lateral humeral condyle were reviewed and results assessed to determine amount displacement that could be relied on produce satisfactory results. Closed treatment resulted in if initial did not exceed 2 mm. This required close follow-up for detection displacement. Percutaneous pinning nondisplaced minimally displaced is an acceptable alternative any situation which scrutiny cannot ensured. Those greater than mm should reduced, pinned, immobilized 6-8 weeks. Evidence delayed union after 8 weeks indication internal fixation possibly bone grafting. Established nonunions good position are best treated by open reduction In this series, varus deformity was most common deviation from a normal carrying angle. The functional invariably regardless radiographic or clinical findings.
