DISLOCATION OF THE RADIUS BACKWARDS AT THE ELBOW-JOINT.

Traumatic dislocation of the radius at the elbow.

Traumatic dislocation of the radius at the elbow as an isolated lesion is considered a rare injury. Other authors have described the condition, particularly the clinical features including the classification of the types of dislocation, the possible mechanism of injury and the management (Thomas 1929, Stelling and Cote 1956, TraVaglini 1962, Vesely 1967, DePalma 1970, Smith 1972).

Subacute dislocation of the elbow following Galeazzi fracture-dislocation of the radius: A case report

INTRODUCTION The Galeazzi fracture-dislocation was originally described by Sir Astley Cooper in 1822 but was named after Italian surgeon Ricardo Galeazzi in 1934. It is an injury classified as a radial shaft fracture with associated dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint and disruption of the forearm axis joint. The associated distal radioulnar joint injury may be purely ligamentous in natu...

A Case of Dislocation of the Ulna Backwards and the Radius Forwards

He found his left elbow dislocated, and the forearm was in a semi-flexed position. He asked a gentleman to pull the arm "straight," as he thought that was the best position for the arm to be in. The gentleman did so, and F. J. D. felt "something" give way in the joint, and a bone appeared to slip forward. On admission, the left arm was almost straight, the elbow much swollen, and he could move ...

Salvage of the head of the radius after fracture-dislocation of the elbow.

We describe a patient with a Mason type-III fracture of the head of the radius associated with traumatic dislocation of the elbow. The radial head was intact throughout its circumference despite being completely detached from the shaft and devoid of any soft-tissue attachments. Severe comminution of the radial neck prevented reconstruction by internal fixation and precluded prosthetic replaceme...
