Abstract:
Separation of the distal humeral epiphysis is infrequent in young children. Diagnosis is difficult since the entire condylar region is almost completely composed of cartilage. Marked sequelae occur if the diagnosis is not promptly made and arthrography is required to evaluate the extent of lesions. Two cases in children aged 2 1/2 years and one day are reported.
