Implication

Retrospective study evaluates treatment and outcomes of combined elbow fractures in pediatric patients, indicating effective management strategies.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate treatment approaches and outcomes for pediatric patients with lateral humeral condyle and ulnar olecranon fractures.
Conducted a retrospective review of 62 pediatric patients aged 4 to 14 years with ipsilateral fractures.
Involved surgical interventions including closed reduction with percutaneous pinning or open reduction and internal fixation.
Measured clinical and radiographic outcomes at an average follow-up of 29.2 months.
No cases of cubitus valgus deformity, nonunion, delayed union, malunion, or osteoarthritis were observed.
Average elbow flexion was 135.1 degrees, with 1.5 degrees extension, and average forearm pronation and supination were 82.2 degrees and 84.1 degrees, respectively.
Kim score showed 'excellent' outcomes in 45 cases and 'good' outcomes in 17 cases, with an average Mayo Elbow Performance Score of 92.5.
