Radial Head Dislocation Associated with an Ipsilateral Open Type II Gustilo-Anderson Fracture of the Radial Shaft

Radial head dislocation associated with an ipsilateral radial shaft fracture is a rare lesion, even more so for open lesions. Few cases have been found in the literature. We report this case due to its exceptional nature and discuss mechanism of onset. A twenty-five-year-old patient presented GUSTILO ANDERSON type II following occupational accident. He was managed twenty-four hours after trauma. The direct blow. reduced by external manoeuvre reduction shaft. stabilized two Kirschner wires reduction. result at 12 months satisfactory from clinical radiological standpoint.
