A Partial Frontal Fracture of the Humeral Trochlea: A Case Report.

Fractures of the lower end of the humerus are uncommon but serious, potentially compromising elbow function. This article reports the case of a young patient with a fracture of the inner cheek of the humeral trochlea, resulting from a public road accident. The diagnosis was established by radiography and CT scan, confirming a displaced fracture associated with an avulsion fracture of the coronoid process. Surgical treatment was carried out with fixation of the osteochondral fragment and evacuation of the intra-articular fragments. Two months after the operation, the patient regained good joint function with a resumption of professional activity.
