Abstract:
Isolated medial epicondyle fracture constitutes a common fracture in children's and adolescent's elbow and is highly associated with an elbow dislocation. Cases with bilateral medial epicondyle fracture with concomitant elbow dislocation have been previously described in literature, while cases without an associated elbow dislocation are lacking. In this article, a bilateral medial epicondyle fracture without elbow dislocation in an adolescent high-level gymnast athlete is reported. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report in literature regarding such an extremely rare traumatic elbow injury.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
