Abstract
Symptomatic nonunion of medial humeral epicondylar fractures is a rare entity. Surgical technique can be difficult because of anatomical, biomechanical factors such as the high tension and the torsional forces applied from the flexor-pronator tendon origin. In the literature, there are a few cases of humeral medial epicondyle treated by open reduction and internal fixation. We described the case of one patient with symptomatic medial humeral epicondyle nonunion who underwent open reduction and internal fixation with excellent clinical evolution after one year of follow-up from time of surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcome of open reduction and internal fixation of a medial epicondyle nonunion fragment about one case and review of littérature.
