The aim of this study is to evaluate the epidemiology of fresh and neglected pediatric elbow fractures in a hilly state of India with a limited health care facility. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective observational single-center study conducted between January 2019 and January 2021. Results Supracondylar was the most common fracture in 58.7% of patients followed by lateral condyle and proximal radius fracture. The highest number of fractures were reported in the age group of 5 to 8 years. In addition, 19% of patients presented with associated complications, 8% of patients had combination injuries of the ipsilateral upper limb, 16% of patients presented to the hospital 1 week after the trauma, 48% of patients had the first contact with a bonesetter/native practitioner. Conclusion Supracondylar fracture was the most common elbow fracture followed by lateral condyle. The most common involved age group was 5 to 8 years. A significant number of elbow fractures are mismanaged by native practitioners in rural India.Towseef Ahmad BhatManik SehgalRajiv KapilaRubinder KaurRajan Singh NegiThieme Medical and Scientific Publishers Pvt.
