Table 3: Milch classification of lateral condyle fractures.

Fracture Type Salter-Harris Equivalent Fracture Line Extension
Milch Type 1 IV Fracture line extends through capitellum entering joint lateral to trochlear groove
Milch Type 2 II Fracture line extends medial to capitellum entering into trochlear groove

However clinically the Jakob classification [44] is much more relevant in guiding treatment (Table 4).
