Case report reveals effective surgical treatment for isolated coronoid process fractures in children, indicating a positive outcome.
Introduction: Coronoid process fractures in children are rare and infrequently reported in the literature; they are typically associated with posterior elbow dislocations. Case Report: We report a case of an isolated coronoid process fracture in a 7-year-old male child, treated surgically with open reduction and internal fixation of a Regan and Morrey Type II fracture, using a mini-anchor and high-resistance suture cerclage. The patient was followed for 21 months postoperatively. Conclusion: This therapeutic approach proved to be effective for coronoid process fractures in pediatric patients who have not yet achieved complete ossification.
