A 12-year-old child presents with tingling sensation and numbness in the little finger and gives a history of fracture in the elbow region 4 years back. The probable fracture is -

A
Lateral condyle fracture humerus
B
Injury to ulnar nerve
C
Supracondylar fracture humerus
D

High-Yield Explanation
Similar to previous question, the child is presenting with tardy ulnar nerve palsy. Here the age of child at the time of injury to elbow is 8 years (child is 12 years old and he/she sustained injury 4 years back). So, age group matches with lateral condyle fracture (5-10 years). About option 'b' Ulnar nerve injury due to trauma will present immediately not after 4 years.
