Abstract

Isolated fractures of capitellum are often more complex and involve lateral epicondyle, trochlea and posteriorly distal part of humerus. The intra-articular complexity of these fractures requires optimal surgical exposure and implants for successful outcomes. When the fracture is displaced, unfavourable outcomes can occur and lead to early arthritis. Additionally, elbow pain and stiffness due to immobilization or surgical reduction and stabilization can limit one’s overall upper extremity function. Superior results are attributed to anatomic reduction and stable
fixation with early ROM exercises. Rehabilitation following such a fracture is complex and can be challenging. Therefore, the aim ofthis case report is to present the evaluation and rehabilitation of a 51-year-old female following acomplicated comminuted capitellum and trochlea of humerus fracture post reduction and instrumentation. The rehabilitationover a 6 months course was done and the benefits of joint specific manual therapy in the rehabilitation were emphasized.
