Ortho: HUmerus


Kilfoyle Classification for # Medial Condyle of Humerus 

A Kilfoyle type I injury involves a greenstick fracture or crush of the medial condyle metaphysis down to, but not including, the physis; Kilfoyle also stated that these may actually be incomplete supracondyle or intracondyle fractures. 
A type II injury involves a fracture through the physeal plate and epiphysis without displacement or rotation. 
Type III is similar to type II but with moderate-to-severe displacement and rotation of the fracture fragment.


Type 1: Non displaced, extra articular
Type 2: Non displaced, intraarticular
Type 3: Displaced/Rotation
