AI Article Synopsis
- * It highlights that fracture dislocations involving the humeral condyle are rare and typically only reported with lateral condyle fractures, while medial condyle fracture dislocations have been unreported in adults.
- * The authors present a unique case of a medial humeral condyle fracture dislocation in an adult, explaining the injury mechanism and noting that the elbow joint remains in place despite the dislodged fragment.
Article Abstract
Dislocations of elbow are often associated with fractures in proximal radius and/or ulna. In adults, fracture dislocations involving humeral condyle are exceptional and have been reported only in association with lateral humeral Condyle. Medial condyle Fracture dislocations have not been reported in adults. We present a curious case of isolated fracture dislocation of medial humeral condyle in an adult in a setting of supracondylar-intercondylar fracture of distal humerus in which elbow joint remains in position, while medial condylar fracture fragment gets dislodged from olecranon notch. A possible mechanism of injury is explained.
