Isolated capitellar fractures are rare, intraarticular fractures requiring an aggressive management regimen. Several treatment options have been described for the Type 1 fracture. A new technique of direct anatomic reduction and fixation of the fracture using a maxillofacial plate is reported. Advantages of this new technique are highlighted, and results with its use in treating patients of all ages are described.
