title: Lateral humeral condylar fractures in children: a report of 47 cases.
abstract: Forty-seven children with fractures of the lateral condyle were reviewed, 4 of whom were treated after a five month delay. The roentgenographic study revealed 4 different types of fractures according to the degree of displacement. Each type corresponded to precise anatomical lesions. In the treatment of recent fractures, we must distinguish between strictly undisplaced fractures, which can be immobilized in a cast, and other fractures, which require open reduction and internal fixation.
