Lateral Condyle Fracture Dislocation of the Elbow Joint in an Adult: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopedics & Bone Disorders - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Fracture dislocation of the humeral condyle is very rare in adults. There are only two published studies in the world literature demonstratingsuch injury. Plan of management for this injury is still not well defined. We report a case of fracture dislocation of lateral humeral condyle with gross comminution of the condyle, in a 64 year old lady. The severity of the comminution rendered the recreation of the normal anatomy difficult and non-reconstructable. Therefore, to replicate normal anatomy, an en-bloc iliac bone graft was used, which was refashionedto fill the defect. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature demonstrating use of a refashioned iliac graft in a case of Fracture-dislocation of elbow in an adult patient.
