Abstract

• It has been known that fracture of medial epicondylar apophysis of distal humerus may be isolated or associated with elbow dislocations. We have experienced a case which medial epicondylar fracture of the distal humerus was associated with subluxation of the radial head. Initially, we had tried reduction of subluxated radial head by closed method, but failed. Finally open reduction had been performed. At 6 month after open reduction, clinical and radiological result were excellent. As it is difficult for those associated injuries to occur simultaneously and the similar cases never have been reported yet, we would like to present this case with a review of the literature.
• Key words: Medial epicondylar fracture, Radial head subluxation
