Abstract
This prospective cohort study was conducted from July 2013 to May 2019. The functional and radiological outcome in displaced, neglected fracture of lateral condyle of the humerus treated with open reduction and internal xation (ORIF) with Kirschner wire was assessed. The sample size was 44 children aged between 2 to 15 years Milch type I and II displaced lateral condyle of humerus fracture, four weeks and older were included. Carrying angle and infection was assessed clinically. Union and elbow functions were evaluated radiologically using the Mayo elbow score. The mean age of the children was 6.82 ± 2.83 years. Fracture was Milch type I in 11 (25%), and type II in 33 (75%).Pre- and post-operatively, Mayo elbow score was 3.63 ± 0.57 and 1.56 ± 0.50, respectively. Good to excellent functional outcome, and union was observed in delayed presenting lateral condyle of humerus fractures.
