Abstract:
Epiphyseal displacement of the distal humerus is rare and difficult to diagnose. In addition, the literature on the prognosis and treatment is limited. Here, we present a case of distal humeral physeal separation with significant displacement in a neonate. A favorable outcome was obtained following closed reduction and percutaneous fixation with Kirschner wires assisted by arthrography. This report adds valuable information on this subject to the existing literature.

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...
