Ununited Fracture Medial Condyle in a Child: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Fractures of the medial condyle of elbow in children are rare. Diagnosis is frequently missed and many authors reported poor outcome for these fractures when treatment was delayed.

Case Report: Here, we present a case of 3-month-old ununited fracture of the medial condyle in an 8-year-old child, treated by osteosynthesis that produced good result. The patient presented to us with valgus instability of elbow and restricted range of motion. Open reduction, freshening of margins, and fixation of the ununited fragment with K-wires were done. Postoperatively, the patient regained functional range of motion and had a stable elbow.

Conclusion: Open reduction and pinning of ununited fracture medial condyle can restore good range of motion and restore elbow stability.
