Lateral humeral condyle fractures are the second most commonly encountered elbow fractures after the supracondylar type in the pediatric age group. These injuries are peculiar as they are intraarticular but displacement-prone owing to the forearm extensor muscles’ attachment on the lateral epicondyle close to the condylar area. Thus, complications, including elbow deformity, can emerge if this condition is not appropriately treated.Diagnostic and management challenges may arise in cases of incomplete fractures and when extensive growth plate areas are involved. Understanding the injury mechanisms behind lateral humeral condyle fractures and the treatment nuances is crucial in navigating these challenges and optimizing patient outcomes.This activity for healthcare workers is designed to enhance learners’ competence in evaluating and managing lateral humeral condyle fractures. This course discusses the need to collaborate with an interprofessional team caring for patients with this injury.
