AP elbow radiograph in a 2-year-old female shows an obliquely oriented irregular lucency through the lateral condyle of the distal humeral metaphysis, consistent with a lateral condylar fracture. There is mild distraction of the fracture fragment. In these cases, the fracture line typically continues distally through the unossified epiphyseal cartilage to the articular surface (i.e., a Salter-Harris IV fracture). #MSKMonday
