Summary

Lateral condyle fracture of the distal humerus is the second most common injury around the elbow and accounts for 20% of all the elbow fractures in children.The average age for the fracture involving the lateral condyle is around six years.

There are different treatment options of the lateral condyle fractures include

* non-operative management with plaster cast immobilization for undisplaced or minimally displaced fractures.
* Whereas the fractures displaced \>2 mm need operative management. The objective of treatment in the displaced fracture is to obtain and maintain the articular congruity.

In the operative management, the reduction technique includes open or closed methods.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

open reduction

the displaced fractures will be treated with open reduction so as to achieve the near anatomical alignment

PROCEDURE

Closed reduction

the non displaced fractures will be treated with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning

OTHER

Conservative management
