A displaced T type intercondylar distal humerus fracture with radial nerve palsy in a 10-year-old treated by closed reduction and K wire fixation

<p>T type intercondylar fractures of the distal hummers in pediatric age group is an extremely rare injury. These are difficult to diagnosed as they can be mistaken for extension injuries. The few clinal trials on management fracture, it widely regarded that accepted method treatment open reduction and rigid internal fixation. It easier ensure stable articular reconstruction intra fragments by this method. Open fixation there associated with high complication rate, which include wound site problems, non-union due periosteal stripping, heterotrophic ossification iatrogenic nerve Large soft tissue dissection also lead vascular compromise significant scar a stiff elbow. We present case 10-year-old boy who sustained fracture radial palsy was treated closed Kirshner wire excellent results at 1 year follow up.</p>
