Abstract:
Elbow dislocations in children are uncommon and often occur alongside fractures, most frequently of the medial epicondyle. Concurrent dislocation with fractures of both the medial epicondyle and the trochlea is exceptionally rare. We present an unusual case of an 11‑year‑old boy with elbow dislocation associated with comminuted fractures of the medial humeral epicondyle and trochlea. The injury was managed conservatively with excellent results at the one‑year follow‑up. This report underscores that even complex injury patterns can achieve good outcomes without surgery when joint congruence and stability are maintained.

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 procedure...
