CASE We present a case of a pediatric patient who sustained a medial humeral epicondyle fracture with avulsion of the ulnar collateral ligament and flexor-pronator mass from the ossific nucleus fracture fragment. Treatment included excision of the medial epicondyle ossific nucleus and repair of the soft tissues. At 1-year, the patient had no pain, no elbow instability, and full and symmetric elbow range of motion. CONCLUSION Excellent short-term pain and function outcomes can be observed in the pediatric patient after medial epicondyle fragment excision when there is concomitant avulsion of the ulnar collateral and flexor-pronator origins from the fracture fragment.
