Medial Humeral Condyle Fracture eMedicine Orthopaedics

Description: Article by Walsh & Patterson 2004
Medial condyle fractures involve a fracture line that extends through and separates the medial metaphysis and epicondyle from the rest of the humerus. By definition, the fracture line must involve the trochlear articular surface. Medial condyle fractures must not be confused with medial epicondylar fractures that involve the medial column but are extraarticular.
