Humeral condylar fracture

Humeral epicondylar fractures mainly refer to intra-articular fractures of the humeral condyle with the small head of the humerus or the humeral condyle with the small head of the humerus and part of the epiphysis of the pulley. Because some of these patients are simply fractures of the humeral small skull condyle, it is also called humeral small skull condyle separation. Humeral epicondylar fractures are more common than internal condylar fractures. It is a common elbow injury in children. It is more common in children aged 5-10 years, and its incidence is slightly lower than that of supracondylar fractures. The humeral condyle includes two parts, the non-articular surface (including the epicondyle) and the articular surface. The forearm extensor muscle group is attached to the humeral condyle. After the humeral epicondylar fracture, the fracture mass can be displaced to different degrees due to the traction of the extensor muscle group.
