Las fracturas de codo son lesiones comunes en la niñez y representan aproximadamente el 10% de todas las fracturas en la niñez. En muchos casos, una simple fractura sanará bien con un tratamiento conservador con yeso. Sin embargo, algunos tipos de fracturas de codo, incluidas aquellas en las que los trozos de hueso están significativamente fuera de lugar, pueden requerir cirugía. Otras estructuras del codo, como los nervios, los vasos sanguíneos y los ligamentos, también pueden lesionarse cuando se produce una fractura y también requieren tratamiento.
