Abstract
Isolated radial head fractures constitute about 5.4% of all fractures and 33% of all elbow fractures, while Bilateral fracture of radial head is an unusual injury. It usually occurs by fall on outstretched hand. We report an unusual case of bilateral asymmetrical radial head fracture mason type2 and type3 on right and left sides respectively, due to a fall on elbows.
