Initial experience with the use of dynamic sonography of the elbow for diagnosing ulnar nerve dislocation and snapping triceps syndrome is reported. Cases of three consecutive patients who underwent sonographic evaluation of the elbow and subsequent open elbow surgery for symptomatic ulnar nerve dislocation were reviewed. Dynamic sonography of the elbow was used to aid in the accurate diagnosis...

INTRODUCTION In view of the comparative frequency of posterior dislocations of the elbow, it is rather remarkable that anterior dislocations of that joint should be among the rarest of injuries. Authors report a case of acute anterior dislocation with old fracture of medial epicondyle. CASE REPORT 22 years old male presented with acute pain and tenderness with deformity of right elbow joint a...

INTRODUCTION Vascular injury associated withclosed posterior elbow dislocations is rare and it usually occurs along with open dislocation, anterior dislocation, penetrating injuries, dislocations associated with fracture. We report such a case of closed posterior elbow dislocation with complete brachial artery rupture. CASE REPORT A 58 years old lady sustained posterior dislocation of right e...

Complex elbow instability consists of dislocation of the ulnohumeral joint with a concomitant fracture of one or several of the bony stabilizers of the elbow, including the radial head, proximal ulna, coronoid process, or distal humerus. Recurrent instability is not often associated with simple dislocation, but an improperly managed complex dislocation may be a prelude to chronic, recurrent elb...

A case of complex paediatric elbow trauma, comprising of fracture lateral condyle associated with posterior dislocation of elbow is presented. Concomitant elbow dislocation was managed by closed reduction under sedation, assessing the elbow stability under general anaesthesia along with lateral condylar fracture fixation using cannulated cancellous screw. The patient had an uneventful recovery ...

Introduction Dislocations of elbow constitute about 3-6% of all injuries occurring around elbow in children. Posterior dislocations are the most common type, whereas other types of dislocations, especially lateral dislocation in a child are extremely rare. Case Report A 9-year-old boy with a history of trauma presented with complaints of pain, swelling, and difficulty to move his left elbow. ...

Elbow dislocation associated with both ipsilateral radial and ulnar shaft fractures is a rare pattern of injury, although it is common for elbow dislocation and forearm fractures to occur separately. We report a case of an 80-year-old woman who had a posterolateral elbow dislocation and ipsilateral radial and ulnar shaft fractures and underwent closed reduction and plate fixation. She had an ex...

One of the most frequently overlooked injuries is neglected radial head dislocation, which is currently known as Monteggia fracture dislocation. Chronic radial head dislocation can result in elbow stiffness, deformity, persistent pain, and instability. In this report, we described an unusual case involving chronic radial head dislocation that was neglected for 15 years and secondary ulnocarpal ...

Ipsilateral dislocation of the shoulder and elbow joints is a rare and complex injury. During the last 25 years, only 3 cases have been reported in the literature. We report a 50-year-old woman who suffered ipsilateral elbow and shoulder dislocation with contralateral comminuted humeral fracture. Both shoulder and elbow joints were reduced, but the elbow was dislocated subsequently at follow-up...

Although it is common for separate elbow joint dislocation and fracture of forearm bones to occur, it is a rare sighting for both elbow dislocation and ipsilateral fracture of the distal radius. We report a case of an anterior dislocation of the elbow with ipsilateral fracture of the distal radius. The case was treated operatively. We describe two possible mechanisms of injury for these rare in...
