A 13-year-old girl presented with swelling, pain, and dysfunction of the left upper limb due to a fall. CT of the elbow joint showed a capitellar fracture (A). She underwent reduction of the capitellar fracture via the anterior approach under direct vision. Herbert screws were used to fixate the fracture fragments (B).

Follow-up radiography was performed on the first day after surgery. The anteroposterior view (E) and lateral view (F) showed that the reduction and fixation were good
