[Fractures of the medial epicondyle in children].
The authors have analysed retrospectively the results of 53 fractures of medial epicondyle in children. For the review of the radiographies, they describe four degrees of displacement. The average age of the children was 12,5 years (range 7 to 16 years). Posterior dislocation of the elbow was present in 50% of the cases. The fracture of the medial epicondyle was treated surgically in thirty-five cases. Results were: 42 excellent, 8 fair, and 3 poor. Non union explains these three poor results. Neurologic complications were few and transient in all cases.
