Supracondylar elbow fractures with impaction of the medial condyle in children.
Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics 1995 July
We reviewed the cases of 13 children with supracondylar elbow fractures with impaction of the medial wall. The displacement was underestimated in two patients and treated as a minimally displaced fracture by simple immobilization without reduction, resulting in a cubitus varus deformity. In one patient, the correct diagnosis was made, but treatment by reduction was refused by the parents. A loss of carrying angle of 10 degrees resulted from this. Two patients referred for treatment of cubitus varus were treated elsewhere for the initial injury: one by reduction and plaster cast immobilization and the other by simple immobilization without reduction. Two children with a supracondylar fracture with buckling of the medial condyle without prominent deformity were not reduced and showed no deformity at follow-up. Six children with collapse of the medial condyle, treated by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, all had a normal carrying angle at follow-up. We believe that this method is safe to prevent varus angulation.
