Osteochondral flap fracture of the coronoid in pediatric elbow dislocation: a case report and literature review

Silvia Valisena et al. Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol. 2019 Jan.

Abstract

Osteochondral flap fractures of the coronoid are rare occult fractures, often diagnosed in delay, in pediatric patients who underwent elbow dislocations. Only 11 pediatric cases of osteochondral flap fractures of the coronoid are described in the literature. We describe a pediatric case treated in our institution for an elbow dislocation accompanied by a triad of elbow fractures, including the osteochondral flap fracture of the coronoid, and review available literature on the osteochondral flap fracture of the coronoid in pediatric patients.

Keywords: Coronoid; Dislocation; Elbow; Pediatric.
