| Abstract: | ObjectiveThe purpose of this case report is to describe the diagnosis and management of an adult patient presenting with a rarely reported avulsion fracture of the medial epicondyle of the humerus.Clinical presentationA 27-year-old female sought care following an injury sustained when the elbow gave out on an attempted back flip. The clinical assessment found an indication of elbow fracture with a diagnosis of medial epicondyle avulsion fracture made on radiographic examination.Intervention and outcomeFollowing in-house imaging, the patient was referred for an orthopedic consultation. An MRI was ordered and revealed numerous internal joint derangements. The orthopedist prescribed a hinged brace and followed up in 4 weeks. Physical therapy was ordered by the surgeon with follow-up again in 4 more weeks.ConclusionMedial epicondyle avulsion fractures are extremely rare in adults, and in this case, were accompanied by extensive internal joint derangements in the elbow. Chiropractors should be able to diagnose this condition from x-ray and can be of assistance with rehabilitation therapies. |
