“…Although fractures of the radial head and neck are common, accounting for 1.7%–5.4% of all adult fractures [7], associated shoulder injuries are rare. Radial head fractures can be classified based on the Mason-Johnston classification [8], with type I fractures treated conservatively with early mobilisation.…”

Scapula fractures following low-velocity injuries are extremely rare but can be a missed associated fracture of other upper limb injuries. We describe the case of a patient who sustained a fracture of the scapula through an unusual and hitherto unreported indirect mechanism. The injury was associated with a radial head fracture and initially missed on presentation. This case highlights the need for increased vigilance when diagnosing injuries with unusual mechanisms.

“…Angulation is the most critical fracture descriptor to decide between closed reduction and/or the type of fixation. The angulation is usually assessed as less than 30 degrees, between 30 and 60 degrees, or greater than 60 degrees 35 . Angulation can be assessed on plain films without the need for CT unless articular extension needs to be further evaluated on CT.…”

There is increasing reliance on computed tomography to evaluate fractures and dislocations following routine evaluation with plain radiography, critical in preoperative planning; computed tomography can provide multiplanar reformats and 3-dimensional volume-rendered imaging, providing a better global assessment for the orthopedic surgeon. The radiologist plays a critical role in appropriately reformatting the raw axial images to illustrate best the findings that will help determine further management. In addition, the radiologist must succinctly report the pertinent findings that will have the most significant bearing on treatment, assisting the surgeon in deciding between nonoperative and operative management. The radiologist should also carefully review imaging to look for ancillary findings in the setting of trauma beyond the bones and joints, including the lungs and rib cage when visualized.In this review article, we will systematically describe key features for fractures of the scapula, proximal humerus, distal humerus, radial head and neck, olecranon, coronoid process through a case-based approach, and distal radius. Although there are numerous detailed classification systems for each of these fractures, we aim to focus on the core descriptors that underpin these classification systems. The goal is to provide the radiologist with a checklist of critical structures they must assess and findings that they should mention in their report, emphasizing those descriptors that influence patient management.

“…Anterior elbow dislocations are more difficult to achieve and occur less frequently. Complications from an elbow dislocation can be avoided with prompt closed reduction (Sarla, 2023;Laugharne and Porter, 2009;Mehta and Bain, 2004).…”

23 years old female who is a student by occupation had a history of a direct fall on her right elbow and injury takes place on her left elbow. After the injury, an orthopedic surgeon and the patient wastreated conservatively. The patient came to the physiotherapy department with a chief complaint of left elbow pain with difficulty in moving the left elbow. On examination, restriction in elbow flexion and extension assortment of motion and tightness of left biceps brachii were seen. The intervention was carried out for 6 sessions per week for 6 weeks. The patient was treated with electrotherapy and exercise therapy. After 6 weeks of intervention pain was reduced (VAS score from 7 to 3), elbow extension range of motion was improved and OES was 20 to 39. This case report results suggest that physiotherapy treatment is important in reducing pain and increasing range of motion and functional ability.
