Arthroscopically Assisted Closed Reduction for Displaced Lateral Humeral Condyle Fractures Over 4 mm in Children

Lateral humeral condyle fractures (LHCFs) are the most common intra-articular fracture occurring at the elbow in children. Conventional treatment for displaced pediatric LHCFs is open reduction and percutaneous pinning, and few studies have regarded the efficacy of arthroscopic-assisted techniques. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of anatomic reduction via elbow arthroscopy for pediatric humeral lateral condyle fractures with displacements>4 mm.
