Abstract
Twenty-seven cases of fractures of the medial condyle of the humerus in children were grouped into one of three types, based on displacement of the medial condyle on initial roentgenograms. Results after an average follow-up of 2.2 years showed that children less than 5 years old tended to have undisplaced fractures giving rise to good results. Older children tended to have more severely displaced fractures. Good results were obtained in patients who were seen early after injury and who had adequate reduction of their fractures. In cases seen late, proper reduction and immobilization are necessary to achieve satisfactory results.
