Concomitant medial condyle fracture of the humerus in a childhood posterolateral dislocation of the elbow.

Fracture of the medial condyle of the humerus concomitant with a dislocation of the elbow is an extremely rare event in children. In this case of a 10-year-old boy, the fracture of the medial condyle was not diagnosed initially, which resulted in subsequent restriction of elbow range of motion. In such a case, it is suggested that one look for other injuries associated with elbow dislocations in children and undertake appropriate radiographic studies.
