Abstract:
Lateral humeral condyle fractures account for 10-20% of all paediatric elbow fractures. Diagnosis is made on plain radiographs; however, their interpretation is a challenge. Diagnostic MRI is used to apply the Song classification. Song stage 1-3 are managed conservatively while stage 4 and 5 are treated surgically. Closed reduction is attempted, and arthrography is used for verification. Unsuccessful reduction results in open surgery. Based on the literature, this review describes a modern algorithm for treating this injury resulting in more conservatively managed cases and less need for open surgery.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
