Minimally posteriorly angulated supracondylar fracture. Anterior humeral line no longer intersects the capitellum.
Case Discussion
Supracondylar fracture with minimal posterior angulation. Note how a line drawn along the anterior border of the humerus does not intersect the mid-third of the capitellum. This makes it a type IIA fracture.
