Kapandji pinning is a reliable technique in paediatric patients with unstable displaced distal radius fractures. It shows a lower complication rate compared to other techniques. For these reasons, we suggest implementing its use in clinical practice.

Osteochondral flap fractures of the coronoid are rare occult fractures, often diagnosed in delay, in pediatric patients who underwent elbow dislocations. Only 11 pediatric cases of osteochondral flap fractures of the coronoid are described in the literature. We describe a pediatric case treated in our institution for an elbow dislocation accompanied by a triad of elbow fractures, including the osteochondral flap fracture of the coronoid, and review available literature on the osteochondral flap fracture of the coronoid in pediatric patients.
