Medial epicondyle fractures account for 11%-20% of pediatric elbow fractures. While nonoperative treatment is effective, surgery is often recommended for overhead athletes to enhance union rates, valgus stability, and expedited return to sporting activities. Postoperative recovery protocols vary, with traditionally up to 2 weeks of strict immobilization and rehabilitation lasting 6-12 months. This study evaluates the early range of motion (ROM) and accelerated rehabilitation in high-performing youth athletes undergoing surgical fixation.
