The lateral condyle is one of the two projections on the lower extremity of the femur. The other one is the medial condyle. The lateral condyle is the more prominent and is broader both in its front-to-back and transverse diameters.
The elbow joint is composed of the bony articulation between the humerus, ulna, and radius. The distal end of the humerus can be divided into the medial and lateral condyles. The articular portion of the medial condyle is the trochlea, and the articular portion of the lateral condyle is the capitulum.Oct 10, 2018
Lateral condyle fractures are the second most common elbow fracture after the supracondylar humerus fracture in children. This fracture pattern is typically through the lateral metaphysis extending into the epiphysis and often extends into the articular surface.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S52. 001A: Unspecified fracture of upper end of right ulna, initial encounter for closed fracture.
A condylar fracture is a repetitive strain injury that results in a fracture to the cannon bone above the fetlock due to large loads transmitted during high-speed exercise.Jun 1, 2018
The physis of the lateral condyle extends into the trochlear notch of the distal humerus (see the image below). Therefore, in some lateral humeral condyle fractures, the lateral crista of the trochlea may be part of the fracture fragment, leading to an unstable humeral ulnar articulation.Oct 14, 2020
The condyle is smooth and round whereas epicondyle is rough. Epicondyle is a projection on the condyle. The main difference between condyle and epicondyle is that condyle forms an articulation with another bone. whereas epicondyle provides sites for the attachment of muscles.Oct 6, 2017
Osteochondral fracture of the lateral femoral condyle is a rare injury of the knee joint, which mostly occurs in adolescence1. In adolescence, the cartilage-bone interface is the weakest transitional area in the knee joint, and there is no obvious boundary between calcified and uncalcified cartilage2.Mar 11, 2020
The medial condyle is one of the two projections on the lower extremity of femur. The medial condyle is larger than the lateral (outer) condyle due to more weight bearing caused by the center of gravity being medial to the knee.
Unspecified fracture of left wrist and hand, sequela S62. 92XS is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S62. 92XS became effective on October 1, 2021.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M25. 52: Pain in elbow.
Symptoms of an olecranon fracture may include pain, tenderness, swelling and the inability to straighten the elbow or pain while straightening the elbow. Depending on the degree and type of fracture, treatment may include the use of a sling or surgery to help hold the bones in place while they heal.
