摘　　要：Obstetric traumatic separation of the distal humeral epiphysis is a very uncommon injury, which pre- sents a diagnostic challenge. These case serials reviewed the functional outcomes of 5 patients who had sustained a fracture-separation of the distal humeral epiphysis at birth. The diagnosis was made at a mean time of 40.8 h after delivery. All the patients were treated with gentle close manipulation, reduction under fluoroscopy and above-elbow cast application. After discharge, the patients were fol- lowed up for a mean of 30 months. Clinico-radiological results were excellent in four patients. One case necessitated closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation at one week follow-up due to failed reduction. Cubitusvarus deformity was the only complication noted in I case. Good functional outcome can be expected in newborns with fracture-separation of the distal humeral epiphysis wherein the physis is anatomically reduced.
