Classification
Type I: Fracture through the capitellum; lateral trochlear ridge remains intact, preventing dislocation of the radius and ulna
Type II: Simple transtrochlear-lateral metaphyseal fracture with medial capsuloligamentous disruption of the radius and lateral dislocation of the ulna
Explanation
Milch noted that a condylar fracture (medial or lateral) involving the lateral trochlear ridge significantly compromised the stability of the elbow joint.
