  • Title: [Elbow dislocation and lateral epicondyle fracture in a five year-old girl. Case report].
    Author: Rincón D, Guzmén R, Camacho J, Abril C.
    Journal: Acta Ortop Mex; 2014; 28(6):369-73. PubMed ID: 26016289.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic elbow dislocation in the pediatric population is a particularly unusual injury. It was first described by Stimson in 1900 and almost 100 years later revisited by Tachdjian in 1990. Three percent of cases are associated with lateral epicondyle fracture, so this is an infrequent injury that has been described in only a few papers as case reports. The mechanism of injury is not clearly known, nor is the best type of treatment or its complications. We report herein the case of a five year-old girl with fracture dislocation of the lateral epicondyle who was managed with closed reduction and percutaneous fixation with Kirschner nails, with good functional results.
