Question
How is a 5-year-old child’s fractured left humerus epicondyle treated?
Answer
After an elbow joint fracture and surgery, it is very easy to cause limited flexion and extension movements of the elbow joint. Generally speaking, it is necessary to have an X-ray examination every month after the fracture to understand the condition of the bone callus. If the bone callus is satisfactory and conditions permit, active flexion and extension exercises should be pursued. During the training period, it is normal to experience resistance and stiffness again. In this case, it is even more important to be proactive in exercising, believing that with persistent effort and training, significant improvement will surely follow.
