ABSTRACT

Radial head fractures are common joint fractures of the elbow. They affect the active and young subject, most often following a fall or a high-energy trauma, they represent 33% of elbow fractures and 5.4% of all fractures.[1,2,3,4,5] Treatment depends on the type of fracture, the degree of displacement and the associated lesions ; The functional prognosis is affected by the increased risk of stiffening of the elbow even after mild trauma, hence the value of early rehabilitation; Bilateral radial head fractures are rare fractures, it was difficult for us to find similar cases in the literature, one case was described by Kay in a 13-year-old child (6); We report here the case of a patient suffering from a trauma to the elbow causing a fracture of the two radial heads. The aim of our work is to report our experience and to highlight the need for a careful examination of the traumatized limb.
