| Abstract: | A case of traumatic separation of the lower humeral epiphysis due to birth injury is reported. In the past 20 years, only 3 similar cases have been reported in the English literature. Following a manipulative reduction and immobilization of the arm in a collar and cuff for 3 weeks the baby made an uneventful recovery. When seen 10 months after injury, the baby had regained full movements of the elbow except for the last 10 ° of extension. |
