In the last 16 years only 18 cases of this kind could be observed in the Paediatric-surgical clinic of Leipzig (GDR). Genuine dislocations without a concomitant fracture happened in 5 cases. They were treated conservatively in the same way as 8 juxtaarticular fractures. 5 considerable dislocated fractures were treated surgically with Kirschner-wiring following reposition. Late results were excellent.
