Abstract
Isolated fractures of the medial condyle of the humerus are rare in any age group and have not been previously reported in the elderly. The case of an 82-year-old who sustained such a fracture is reported. The patient was successfully treated by anatomic reduction and rigid internal fixation. Treatment guidelines and relevant literature are reviewed.
