Case report demonstrates positive outcomes in a child after managing complex elbow injury conservatively.
Elbow dislocations in children are uncommon and often occur alongside fractures, most frequently of the medial epicondyle. Concurrent dislocation with fractures of both the medial epicondyle and the trochlea is exceptionally rare. We present an unusual case of an 11‑year‑old boy with elbow dislocation associated with comminuted fractures of the medial humeral epicondyle and trochlea. The injury was managed conservatively with excellent results at the one‑year follow‑up. This report underscores that even complex injury patterns can achieve good outcomes without surgery when joint congruence and stability are maintained.
