Abstract

|
|
|
Capitellar osteochondral impaction fractures of the humerus are an uncommon injury and not encompassed by commonly used classification systems, such as that of Bryan and Morrey. Only a few cases of capitellar osteochondral impaction fractures have been reported. We report a case of a 53-year-old female with a capitellar osteochondral impaction fracture. The osteochondral fracture fragment of the capitellum was impacted and there was a step-off on the articular surface. Recovery of congruence in the capitellar articular surface was necessary. Satisfactory clinical and radiological results were obtained through the ‘lever arm’ reduction of the fracture fragment with a small osteotome and fixation with ‘raft’ K-wire.
