Detailed explanation-1: -Fracture-dislocations of the elbow remain among the most difficult injuries to manage. Historically, the combination of an elbow dislocation, a radial head fracture, and a coronoid process fracture has had a consistently poor outcome; for this reason, it is called the terrible triad.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coronoid fractures are believed to occur due to a shearing force when elbow experiences excess stress. They are often the result of an associated elbow dislocation. [2] Two to fifteen percent of elbow dislocations result in fractures of the coronoid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conclusions: In terrible triad injuries, the most common type of radial head fracture is Mason 2, while the most common type of coronoid fracture is Regan-Morrey type 2 or O’Driscoll type 1.
