Kocher’s Diacondylar Fracture of the Distal Humerus: A Case Report and Literature Review

Kocher’s diacondylar fracture is a rare form of coronal shear fracture involving both the capitellum and trochlea as a single osseous fragment. Due to its rarity and the limitations of standard radiographic imaging, diagnosis is often delayed, resulting in significant functional impairment. We present a case involving a young female patient and provide an in-depth discussion on surgical techniques, rehabilitation strategies, and outcomes, contextualized within a comprehensive literature review.

Abstract

Kocher’s diacondylar fracture is a rare form of coronal shear fracture involving both the capitellum and trochlea as a single osseous fragment. Due to its rarity and the limitations of standard radiographic imaging, diagnosis is often delayed, resulting in significant functional impairment. We present a case involving a young female patient and provide an in-depth discussion on surgical techniques, rehabilitation strategies, and outcomes, contextualized within a comprehensive literature review.
