We could achieve union in a majority of the patients with delayed presentation and established nonunion of LCH fractures with simple percutaneous screw placement, thereby avoiding open surgery, big scar, bone grafting, and AVN of LCH. We did not wait for an improvement in elbow movements before screw fixation and still all our patients regained full elbow movements with improved Dhillon scores.
