“…Given the patient's age and displaced fracture, ORIF was chosen over K-wire fixation. ORIF in pediatric patients is supported by established previous reviews and case series 2,4,7,10,12,13,[15][16][17] . A Bryan-Morrey triceps-sparing approach, opposed to an olecranon osteotomy, was used to limit the risk of trochlear avascular necrosis 4 , minimize posterior capsule 8,18 and extensor mechanism scarring 4,8 , and improve postoperative ROM as described by Jarvis and colleagues 10,19 .…”

“…T -condylar fractures represent an uncommon injury pattern in children for which optimal strategies for surgical management remain poorly understood. [1][2][3][4] Prior work has yielded conflicting results regarding the superiority of a given surgical approach (triceps splitting, Bryan-Morrey, olecranon osteotomy) on the postoperative range of motion (ROM) and functional outcomes. 2,5,6 In addition, no large scale comparative studies have been performed examining the outcomes of "adult-type" fixation with plates and screws versus "pediatric-type" fixation, with pins and/or screws alone, though prior work has hypothesized a lower complication rate with pediatric-type fixation, 1 and a limited case series would suggest pediatric fixation yields satisfactory functional outcomes for displaced T-condylar fractures in adolescents.…”
