To our knowledge,there is no report concerning medial epicondyle fracture of the humerus for infants,the clinical course and treatment outcome of an 11 -month-old boy with such fracture with ulnar nerve palsy was described in this article.Ulnar nerve detection and scar tissue release were performed.The bony fragment was anatomically reduced and fixed with an anchor.The above-elbow wellpadded anterior plastic splint was used postoperatively for 4 weeks.After removing the splint,the motion of hand had no obvious improvement accompanied with claw hand deformity,and nerve transplantation was suggested to the patient’s parent.We would like to remind clinicians of encountering the clinical manifestations to be vigilant for any possibilities.
