Summary

Fracture of lateral humeral condyle in children is not uncommon.The nonunion means no healing of the fracture after 3 months from the injury.Delayed union means no healing from 6 weels to less than 3 months after injury.

The treatment is difficult even surgery because of lack of blood supply of lateral condyle,unstability from muscle force and the articular fluid inhibition of union.

The author try to improve the healing of the fracture after surgery by "4 not techniques",

1. the surgical approach should not enter posteriorly because the blood supply of lateral condyle enter posteriorly in order to avoid cut the vessels.
2. The dissection should not too much especially the muscle around the condyle.
3. It is not necessary to perfectly reduced the fracture after nonunion to avoid too much dissection the muscle and allow only healing of the fragment.
4. Bone graft is not necessary. The author wants to know the results after perform "4 not technique" in delayed union and nonunion of lateral humeral condyle fracture
