Elbow dislocation with lateral condyle and coronoid fractures

Yousef Fallah et al. Case Reports Plast Surg Hand Surg. .

Abstract

Elbow dislocations are simple or complex types. We introduce a patient with the elbow dislocation, lateral condyle fracture and coronoid fracture and their surgical management. This type of fracture is rare in adults. Particular attention should pay to coronoid fracture repair during the treatment.

Keywords: Elbow dislocation; coronoid fractures; fixation; lateral condyle fracture.
