Overview

A case report demonstrates surgical stabilization yields favorable functional recovery in elbow dislocation and fracture.

Key Points

  • To report on the management and outcomes of a rare case involving elbow dislocation and lateral humeral condyle fracture.
  • Presentation of a case involving a 28-year-old female with elbow dislocation and humeral fracture.
  • Surgical intervention included open reduction and internal fixation via a posterior paratricipital approach.
  • Postoperative management included early mobilization and controlled range of motion.
  • At 18 months post-surgery, the patient achieved a Mayo Elbow Performance Index score of 100.
  • Oxford Elbow Score of 48 was reported, indicating successful recovery.
  • Visual analogue score of 0 indicated no pain; joint function was restored with a flexion-extension arc of 135°-10° and complete pronation and supination.
