  • Title: Elbow fractures in children and adolescents.
    Author: Beaty JH.
    Journal: Instr Course Lect; 2003; 52():661-5. PubMed ID: 12690890.
    Abstract:
    Fractures of the upper extremity are common injuries in athletically active children and adolescents. These injuries usually occur during falls on an outstretched arm. Upper extremity fractures account for 65% to 75% of fractures in this group, and fractures about the elbow for approximately 10%. Although most elbow fractures heal uneventfully with immobilization only, determining which fractures will do well with cast treatment alone and which require surgical reduction and stabilization is often difficult.
