  • Title: Epiphysiolysis of the capitellum humeri.
    Author: Lauwers T, Geusens E, Pans S, Nijs S.
    Journal: JBR-BTR; 2005; 88(4):184-6. PubMed ID: 16176075.
    Abstract:
    A four-year-old girl presents at the emergency department with left elbow pain after a fall. X-ray demonstrated an epiphysiolysis of the capitellum humeri, without a bony fragment, the so-called Salter Harris Type 1 fracture. The fracture was treated by open reduction and internal fixation. This case is unusual because avulsions of the capitellum are usually associated with a bony fracture.
