Abstract: It is generally accepted that childhood fractures are more bening in nature, compared with fractures of mature skeleton, due to high rate of union and the great potential of remodeling [1]. Nevertheless, they are just… read more here.

DOI: 10.1302/1863-2548.11.170119
Abstract: Abstract Purpose Fractures of the lateral condyle of the humerus in children are a common injury. If displaced or unstable they may require surgical reduction and fixation with Kirschner wires (K-wires). K-wires are placed using… read more here.
