Abstract

We report a case of injury to the lateral humeral condyle associated with fracture of the olecranon. It was suggested that the mechanism of injury was a varus strain and an indirect force along the forearm on the extended elbow and supinated forearm caused by a fall onto the outstrectched hand. This injury may be included as the equivalent of the Monteggia lesion.
