Single-Bicortical Bolt Fixation for Lateral Condyle Fractures: Effective and Minimally Invasive Approach – Dr. Jawahar Jethwa
In many lateral condyle fracture cases, a single screw provides sufficient frictionless fixation, ensuring excellent compression and fragment contact, even in heavy patients. Compared to traditional multi-screw or plate-based methods, this simplified technique offers full range of motion with minimal hardware. In a complex case involving coronal and medial condyle fractures, a combination of MNR-BALT and anteroposterior screws effectively stabilized the site, confirmed via postoperative CT for academic interest. Even with just 2 Bolts, good functional outcomes were achieved.
