This is a patient with a comminuted distal humerus fracture with separation and angulation of the fragments. This case emphasizes the importance of multiple views for intra-articular fractures involving the joints. In our case, the integrity of the elbow joint could not be adequately assessed. The patient underwent closed reduction with good alignment and approximation of fracture fragments.
