Abstract
Fractures of the distal humerus around the elbow joint are most often in supracondylar or condylar lesion. This article described the diagnosis, classification, treatment, progress, side-effect, after-treatment and rehabilitation of fractures of supracondylar, lateral condyle and medial epicondyle of the humerus in child, and also described these of supracondylar, epicondylar fractures of the humerus in adult. Physical therapy should include active and active-assisted exercises for joint mobilization as soon as soft tissue healing permits. To prevent the contracture and the loss of motion of the elbow, rehabilitation of the patient and upper extremity should begin immediately, depending on the fracture and soft tissue stability in these fractures.
