what is Posada&;s fracture ?: (A) Transcondylar fracture of humerus, (B) Fracture lateral condyle of humerus, (C) Fracture medial condyle of humerus, (D) Fracture anatomical neck of humerus
Answer is A. Transcondylar fracture of the distal pa of the humerus with associated dislocation (Posadas fracture) is rare.
