Posteromedial Dislocation of the Elbow With Associated Intraarticular Entrapment of the Lateral Epicondyle

Elbow dislocation is often accompanied by fractures, most frequently of the medial epicondyle. The authors report a rare case of posteromedial elbow dislocation and associated fracture of the lateral humeral epicondyle trapped within the joint.
