title: [Isolated fracture of the trochlea humeri following direct elbow trauma].
abstract: Isolated fractures of the Trochlea humeri are only rarely seen because in case of indirect trauma this portion of the elbow is only partially exposed to transmitted forces and in case of direct injury adjacent elements are also involved. On the lateral films a half-moon shaped fragment in front of the Humerus together with joint effusion are indicative of this type of fracture. Depending on the grade of dislocation of the fragment, which has to be shown radiologically, conservative or operative management are chosen.
