Abstract

Fifty-six conservatively treated children (7-17 years) with a displaced (1-15 mm) fracture of the medial humeral epicondyle were examined 35 (21-48) years after the injury. In 31 cases a pseudarthrosis had developed of which 3 had mild ulnar nerve symptoms. The function and range of motion of the elbow was good in all cases.
