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.
