Abstract
The capitellum is the first epiphyseal center of the elbow to ossify and represents the lateral extension of the distal humerus, the radial head articulates with the anterior surface of the capitellum when the elbow is positioned in flexion.
Fractures of the humeral capitellum are rare and account for 1% of elbow fractures. Injuries to the capitellum are usually a result of axial loading of the capitellum by forces transmitted through the radial head, the lateral trochlear ridge and the lateral half of the trochlea due to falling on an outstretched hand or flexed elbow
