Abstract

In children cubitus varus is common after malunion of a supracondylar fracture of the humerus. Later problems such as tardy ulnar nerve palsy, snapping of the lateral triceps tendon or ulnar nerve and posterolateral rotatory instability are well documented. We present a case of anteromedial dislocation of the entire triceps tendon with loss of extensor power and describe the method of treatment.

Correspondence should be sent to Dr I. J. Smith at Hastings Memorial Hospital, Hastings, New Zealand.
