ObjectiveThis study aims to find the optimal arrangement of the Kirschner wire (K-wire) in the sagittal plane for fixation of a pediatric lateral condylar humeral fracture (Milch type II) by using finite element analysis (FEA).MethodsA model of lateral condyle fracture in a 6-year-old boy was develo...
