Coronal shear fracture of distal humerus associated with olecranon fracture: A case report and pathomechanism
Distal humeral coronal shear fractures are rare and account for around 1% of all fractures at the elbow level and 6% of the distal humeral fractures. Many studies have reported on the associated injuries involving the lateral collateral ligament injuries and radial head fractures in up to 40% and 30...

| description | Distal humeral coronal shear fractures are rare and account for around 1% of all fractures at the elbow level and 6% of the distal humeral fractures. Many studies have reported on the associated injuries involving the lateral collateral ligament injuries and radial head fractures in up to 40% and 30% of humeral fractures, but this combination of coronal shear fracture of the trochlea and capitellum associated with olecranon fracture is unusual. Here, we report two cases of distal humerus coronal shear fracture with olecranon fracture treated surgically and establish and discuss the pathomechanisms, diagnosis, and therapeutic issues relating to this fracture. |
