Isolated Fracture Dislocation of Medial Humeral Condyle Without Elbow Dislocation: Mechanism of an Unreported Injury

2021 
Dislocations of elbow are often associated with fractures in proximal radius and/or ulna. In adults, fracture dislocations involving humeral condyle are exceptional and have been reported only in association with lateral humeral Condyle. Medial condyle Fracture dislocations have not been reported in adults. We present a curious case of isolated fracture dislocation of medial humeral condyle in an adult in a setting of supracondylar—intercondylar fracture of distal humerus in which elbow joint remains in position, while medial condylar fracture fragment gets dislodged from olecranon notch. A possible mechanism of injury is explained.
