[Fractures of the inner epicondyle of the humerus associated with dislocation of the forearm bones in children and adolescents].

The authors attract attention to frequent association of fracture of the inner epicondyle of the humerus with dislocation of the bones of the forearm, which is of great practical importance. On this basis classification of fractures of the inner epicondyle of the humerus is presented. The authors believe that in treating this injury the method of choice should consist in open reposition, which allows to achieve accurate reposition, sanation of the ulnar joint cavity and stable fixation of the fragment. Osteosynthesis by screw-awl provides for reliable fixation of the fragment and allows for early development of the movements in the ulnar joint. Surgical treatment mostly gave excellent and good results and complications were few. The complications observed were mainly connected with late admission of the patients.
