Background
- Not true Salter-Harris fx (apophysis, not physis, is involved)
- 50% assoc w/ elbow dislocation
Diagnosis
- Displacement of medial epicondyle ossification center
- May become entrapped w/in elbow joint
- Use CRITOE to determine if bone in joint is medial epicondyle or nl trochlear oss center
- If think is trochlear but cannot see medial epicondyle fragment is medial epicondyle
- (Medial epicondyle normally ossifies before the trochlea)
- If think is trochlear but cannot see medial epicondyle fragment is medial epicondyle
- Fat pad sign not usually present because most injuries are extra-articular
