There is a transverse lucency running through the olectranon and a fracture through the medial portion of the radial neck extending to the physis. Both are intra-articular fractures, hence the elbow effusion.
Case Discussion
Features here are of an undisplaced olecranon fracture. The olecranon is ossifying, but at its base, there is a transvese lucency (best seen on the lateral film) consistent with a fracture.
In addition, there is a radial neck fracture and an elbow effusion.
