Description
Julian Carlos Segura-Nuez and co-authors reported two missed elbow injuries in children, in a 2026 paper that also reviews past cases. The injury, a Jeffery type two fracture, is rare and can be missed when a child first comes in with a dislocated elbow. Few cases have been written up so far.
Both children, aged ten and eight, first came in with elbow pain after falls. The fractures were found three to four weeks later, and surgery followed at once. Both regained full bending and straightening, though some turning of the forearm stayed limited, with slow gains over time. The authors urge careful checks of X-rays for this injury in every child with an elbow dislocation.
