AP elbow radiograph of a 10 years, 9 months year-old female patient with a T-type supracondylar humerus fracture after falling from a standing height. BMI at the time of injury was 25.7 (97% for age). This fracture pattern is more commonly seen in adults. Obesity influences early epiphyseal plate closure, leading to more adult fracture patterns in younger children.
