Abstract

Fractures involving the entire distal humerus are uncommon injuries and are usually seen in infants and neonates. Theiroccurrence in older children is uncommon and is mostly limited to children younger than seven years. Epiphyseal separationof the distal humerus usually follows an extension pattern, in which the distal fragment is posteriorly displaced.Anteromedial displacement is extremely rare and is considerably rarer in 8-year-old children. This case report describesthis extremely rare injury pattern in an 8-year-old girl and provides relevant details of its management.
