Pediatric patients suspected of having a lateral condyle fracture should receive 3 view radiographs of the involved elbow: AP, lateral and internal oblique. Maximum displacement of the lateral condyle fracture can be best evaluated on an internal oblique radiograph. Classically, >2mm of displacement on any of the three views should be considered unstable and surgical fixation of the fracture warranted.
