Abstract
Thirty-one children with fractures of the lateral humeral condyle were reviewed.The age the time of injury varied from one to thirteen years and the follow-up period from eight months to eight years.Bone union was achieved in all cases. Clinically all patients had normal elbows, with a full range of motion and a carrying angle almost equal to that of the other arm.Radiologically mild fish-tail deformity was observed in sixty-five percent of the patients and this deformity occurred due to incomplete reduction of the displaced fractures.Those fractures with an initial displacement of the distal fragment of three millimeters or more is recommended surgical intervention.
