Abstract :
Introduction: Bone forearm fracture with ipsilateral lateral epicondyle fracture in an adult is a very rare occurrence. The AO/OTA classification system does not specify the concurrent both bone fracture with ipsilateral lateral condyle fracture in its classification system.
Case presentation: We report a case of closed fracture middle third both bone forearm with ipsilateral lateral epicondyle of humerus fracture in a 40–year–old, right–handed man with a physical assault by stick on his left forearm. The description of case with its management has been discussed below.
Conclusions: This is a rare combination of fracture in the adult. Isolated fracture of both bone forearm and lateral condyle fracture in children is well known but combination of both of these injury is a rare scenario. Anatomical reduction of fracture and management of case has been depicted. It finally led to good results in this patient.
