Partial articular fractures involving the capitellum represent an injury to the lateral column of the distal humerus. Capitellum open reduction and internal fixation restores this portion of the distal humerus articular surface and biomechanical integrity to the lateral column. This video demonstrates open reduction and internal fixation of a type I capitellar fracture with headless compression screws through an extensile lateral approach.
