Abstract
A 2-year-old girl was brought to our attention due to refusal to use her right arm. Radiographic examination revealed unexpectedly an ossification center of medial epicondyle, even before ossification center of radial head. Taking into account the order of appearance of ossification centers, comparison radiographs of the left elbow were obtained to show an extremely rare variant ossification.
