Radial head fractures are a common type of elbow injury in adults ^1-4. They usually occur during a fall on an outstretched arm with the forearm pronated and discrete flexion of the elbow joint ^1-4. CT scan helps identify the location and size, number, morphology, articulate margin, fracture gap, and associated bone fractures and distinguishes the type of fracture in Mason classification ^1-4. Radiologists should adopt the same terminology and classification systems used by orthopedic surgeons to enhance communication ¹.

This case is a typical example of a non-displaced fracture of the radial head - Mason type 1, in which, in general, the treatment is conservative.
