Abstract
Nine patients with ten fractures of the medial condyle of the humerus were reviewed after an average follow-up of 5.2 years. These avulsion fractures are unstable and there is a definite risk of nonunion. When the condylar fragment was rotated, open reduction and suture with catgut gave bad results. Rigid internal fixation is recommended.Entities:
