Abstract. spite of the many existing methods of treatment of elbow fractures, proportion of complications and poor outcomes is still quite a high (15, 2–40%). Difficulties in of the treatment of elbow fractures in children caused by a number of features: a complex anatomic and topographic location, small size of the distal fracture fragment, the frequency of damage to the articular capsule, blood vessels and nerves.
The method we use facilitates the use of plaster immobilization, enables the early possibility of physiotherapy exercise, and with careful examination of each patient with isolated damage to the proximal radial bone epimetaphysis, it is easy to establish the symptom of a fracture of the proximal part of radial bone.
