%X Lateral condyle fracture of the distal humerus is the second most common paediatric elbow fracture. Unstable, rotated and displaced (>2 mm) fractures are managed with open reduction and internal fixation with Kirschner¡¯s wires or screws. Debate persists as for how long the Kirschner¡¯s wires should be placed in situ after internal fixation. We aimed to compare the functional and radiological outcome after early versus late removal of internally fixated Kirschner¡¯s wires for displaced lateral condyle fracture of distal humerus
