Özet

The amount of displacement in medial epicondylar fracture is one of the most important criteria for treatment decision. The displacement of medial epicondyle fractures of the humerus may be underestimated by standard AP and lateral views of elbow. The aim of the current study is to show the clinical relavance of computerized tomography (CT) for medial epicondyle fractures.
