The coexistence of fractures of the capitellum and the radial head: a rare case

Abstract

The coexistence of fractures of the capitellum and the radial head in the elbow joint is a rare entity. A 36-year-old man presented with complaints of pain, swelling, and limited range of motion in the right elbow after a fall. Radiography, computed tomography, and three-dimensional reconstruction of computed tomography images revealed displaced and comminuted fractures in the capitellum and the radial head. The fractures were treated with open reduction via a lateral approach and osteochondral fragments were fixed with Herbert screws. Clinical and radiographic results were excellent at the end of a three-year follow-up.
