- Abstract
- For displaced medial condyle fractures in
children, open reduction with internal fixation seems to be
most popular treatment method. The major complication of
this method is failure to make the proper early diagnosis.
Corrective supracondylar humeral osteotomy has been
preferred to open reduction and internal fixation for managing
malunited fragments. We report a case of a child
with nonunion of the medial condyle of the humerus who
was subsequently treated successfully with open reduction
and internal fixation.
