Abstract
A terrible triad elbow injury consists of an elbow dislocation with associated radial head and coronoid fractures. This type of injury is rare in the pediatric population. In this case, a 14-year-old adolescent male suffered a right-sided terrible triad elbow injury after falling onto his right elbow. He was taken to the operating room for open reduction and internal fixation. The patient is now three years postoperatively with full range of motion of his elbow with no pain and no incidents of dislocation.
