The distal humerus of newborn babies is composed of cartilage. Later, with the increase of age, the center of ossification gradually appears, and the metatarsal cartilage plate is between the metaphyseal end, which is relatively weak in structure.

It is a special type of supracondylar fractures that occurs in the developmental stage of young children and is not common.
