Abstract
This report concerns two children with aseptic necrosis of the capitulum humeri.
Case 1-A boy aged eight years was brought with slight swelling on the lateral aspect of the right elbow and limitation of range of motion of the elbow. The elbow was immobilized in an apparatus for a few months.
Case 2-A boy aged ten years with moderate swelling on the lateral aspect of the right elbow and impairment of elbow movement was treated by bone-peg grafting into the capitulum humeri surgically.
The results were compared with clinical features, function of the elbow and roentgenographic views.
In conclusion, the latter obtained more excellent results than the former.
