Capitellum Fracture Classification - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the classifications of the Capitellum Fractures. The Capitellum is located at the distal humerus. Fractures to the capitellum are rare. Capitellum fractures usually occur in the coronal plane. May be difficult to diagnose. Elbow effusion or displacement of the fat pad after a trauma could suggest a nondisplaced fracture of the radial head or the capitellum. Bryan and Morrey Classification: Type I: Hann – Steinthal fragment. • Constitutes a large fragment of bone and articular cartilage, sometimes with trochlear involvement. • Treatment: open reduction. • Fixation Herbert screws. Type II: Kocher – Lorenz fragment. • Characterized by a small shell of bone and articular cartilage. • Treatment: excision Type III: Comminuted fracture of the capitellum. • Treatment: exision. Type IV: Mckee Modification. • Fracture extends medially to include the capitellum and trochlea. • See double bubble on lateral x-rays. • Treatment: open reduction and fixation with Herbert screws.
