Fractures about the elbow are common in children. In addition to the more frequent humeral supracondylar type, fractures of the lateral humeral condyle, the medial humeral epicondyle and the proximal radius often occur. Fortunately, these latter types are rarely associated with neurovascular compromise, as seen with the supracondylar type. However, accurate anatomic reduction is required to permit appropriate growth at these epiphyseal sites and to prevent complications.
肘部骨折在儿童中很常见。除了更常见的肱骨髁上骨折类型外，肱骨外侧髁、肱骨内上髁和桡骨近端骨折也经常发生。幸运的是，与髁上骨折不同，后几种类型很少伴有神经血管损伤。然而，需要精确的解剖复位，以确保这些骨骺部位正常生长并预防并发症。
