title: Treatment of symptomatic medial epicondyle nonunion: Case report and review of the literature.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Symptomatic nonunion of humeral medial epicondyle can be problematic and difficult to treat due to high complication rates related to open reduction and internal fixation methods.
  
  
  METHODS
  We described four patients with symptomatic medial humeral epicondyle nonunion who underwent open reduction and internal fixation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Symptomatic nonunion of humeral medial epicondyle is a rare entity. Surgical technique can be difficult because of anatomical and biomechanical factors. In the literature, there are a few cases of humeral medial epicondyle treated by open reduction and internal fixation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Open reduction and internally fixation of the medial epicondyle nonunion with one cannulated screw results with improved elbow function.
