%X <B>METHODS: </B>A 10-year-old, postmenarchal girl presented to the emergency department with a closed, displaced, intercondylar T-type distal humerus fracture. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed 3 days following initial presentation. The patient healed but experienced elbow stiffness in the 7 months following the procedure. Implant removal and capsular release were performed at that time. At the 31-month follow-up, the patient reported satisfactory elbow functionality.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>There is limited literature available discussing optimal management and associated outcomes of intercondylar T-type distal humerus fractures in the young-adolescent population. This report presents a possible method for management of the initial injury and the most common associated complication.
