A novel single-portal arthroscopic technique for the management of pediatric humeral lateral condylar fractures

The single proximal anterolateral portal technique for arthroscopic-assisted reduction of LHCFs facilitates minimally invasive debridement of the fracture site and provides direct visualization of the reduction process. This approach serves as a viable and effective alternative for managing lateral condylar fractures that are not amenable to conventional closed reduction due to severe displacement or a prolonged delay from injury. The technique demonstrates a favorable safety profile, and shows promise for broader clinical adoption pending further validation.
