Abstract
Background: The lateral epicondyle fracture in children is a rare condition and only few cases have been reported in the literature. The isolated fracture without concomitant fracture/dislocation is even more uncommon, with unclear outcome and treatment approach.
 Case Report: We present a case of an 11-year-old boy with restricted right elbow range of motion (ROM) after falling. The radiograph and computed tomography (CT) scan showed a displaced lateral epicondyle fracture without accompanying fracture or dislocation. Due to the stability of the joint and patient’s compliance, a closed reduction with Kirschner wires (K-wires) was selected for treatment. Follow-up results were satisfactory and showed no complications.
 Conclusion: Closed reduction of dislocated lateral epicondyle fracture in children can result in acceptable outcomes.
