Introduction: Radial neck fractures in the pediatric age group account for 1% of all fractures in children. A completely displaced fracture with an angle >30° requires operative intervention.
Case Report: An 11-year-old boy with Judet IVb radial neck epiphysiolysis 4 weeks old was managed by open reduction and internal fixation with K-wires.
Conclusion: Anatomic reduction must be achieved in radial neck fractures to restore their function. Open reduction and internal fixation with K wires must be considered in patients with >30° angle of inclination, neglected fracture, and failure of closed reduction.
