Wiki new coder needs help with fracture

[ggparker14]

This may be a stupid question, but is the lateral humeral condylar fracture a fracture of the upper arm?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

yes it is upper arm. Above elbow is upper arm, below elbow is lower arm (forearm)

A condyle is a rounded protuberance(knuckle like) at the end of a bone forming an articulation so your HUMERAL condyle is the upper arm.
