Methods of patients after the limb was behind the prone position to push away from the style, from the elbow to the front outer edge of the elbow after the stripes within the line of transverse incision, spongy after reset bone lag screw or Kirschner wire fixation. Results prone position on the surgical treatment of humeral condylar fracture in 27 cases, average 12.8 weeks. The operation time from skin incision to completion of sterile materials covering an average of 20 min, the incision 1.8 ~ 2.5 cm, achieved bone union before suffering elbow function consistent with the injury. Broberg Moreey postoperative elbow score, excellent in 22 cases, good in 5 cases. Conclusion prone position on the surgical treatment of humeral condylar fracture with a small incision, trauma, surgery is easy operation, residual scar after healing of small, consistent aesthetic viewpoint, is an effective method. [Keywords:] prone position, minimally invasive fracture of medial epicondyle Humeral condylar fracture is a common injury, fracture of the distal humerus lateral condyle fracture ranks, the ranks third. Literatures minimum age of 3.9 years, the majority of 9 to 14 years of age, the peak is 11 ~ 12 years [1]. The surgical treatment or conservative treatment options are highly controversial, but with the continued strengthening of people’s health and medical awareness of the continuous development of the medial epicondyle fractures tended to increase, and the minimally invasive and beautiful direction. since October 2003 in our hospital in the prone position has been open to the medial epicondyle fracture treatment, mean follow-up 12.8 weeks, with satisfactory effect, are as follows. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 Clinical data of the 27 patients, 20 males and 7 fema
