ABSTRACT
Fracture of the lateral Condyle of the Humerus in children accounted for 18.1% of total fractures of the regional elbow. During a 11 year-period, we operated 36 cases with fracture of the lateral Condyle of the Humerus. Our purpose is in papers (1) determining diagnosis and classifying fracture of the lateral Condyle, (2) remark surgical technique and results. We used Kirschner wire for fixation of the fragment. We believe that a minium of two wires are necessary to prevent rotation. The fracture is usually sufficiently stable to allow wires removal by 6 to 12 weeks and to allow the patient to begin protected active range of motion of the elbow. The follow up that our results:
good 14; fair 15; poor 07. Complications (1) avascular necrosis of the condylar fragment 02. (2) cubitus valgus 05
