this case is a 19-year-old soldier who suffered a combined elbow dislocation and posterior monteggia fracture and dislocation (type ii). the ulna fracture was managed by orif. the elbow dislocation was managed by closed reduction and immobilization in 900 flexion. the posteriorly dislocated radial head was kept reduced by a transarticular pin. after 6 months elbow and forearm motion was restric...

This case is a 19-year-old soldier who suffered a combined elbow dislocation and posterior Monteggia fracture and dislocation (type II). The ulna fracture was managed by ORIF. The elbow dislocation was managed by closed reduction and immobilization in 900 flexion. The posteriorly dislocated radial head was kept reduced by a transarticular pin. After 6 months elbow and forearm motion was restric...

Elbow dislocation with ipsilateral diaphyseal fracture of both radius and ulna is a rare injury. However, elbow dislocation with either radius or ulnar diaphyseal fracture is commonly reported. We report an uncommon injury of a 16 years old male who had his elbow dislocation with ipsilateral both bones forearm fractures. Elbow dislocation was reduced and fracture both bones were fixed with dyna...

INTRODUCTION Fracture dislocations of the elbow appear extremely complex. Identification of the basic injury patterns can facilitate management. CASE PRESENTATION A 38-year-old male motor-vehicle driver who fell on his right elbow after an accident was suffering from posterior dislocation of the elbow, without coronoid fracture, and with fracture of the radial head and olecranon, and medial c...

This is a report on simultaneous dislocation of the left shoulder and elbow resulting in a 16 years old boy. Bipolar dislocation of Luxatio Erecta and posterior dislocation of the elbow is extremely rare. After clinical examinations (attention to pain, swelling, and deformity of the shoulder and elbow joints and neurovascular examinations), the necessary radiography was performed for the patien...

BACKGROUND There is paucity of literature describing complex elbow trauma in the pediatric population. We described a case of an uncommon pediatric elbow injury comprised of lateral condyle fracture associated with posterolateral dislocation of elbow. CASE PRESENTATION A 12-year-old boy sustained a direct elbow trauma and presented with Milch type II lateral condyle fracture associated with p...

Elbow dislocation, though a common orthopaedic emergency is rare with brachial artery injury and is even more uncommon in the paediatric age group. We present the case of a child who sustained trauma resulting in closed elbow dislocation with brachial artery injury. Elbow dislocation with brachial artery injury can present with palpable distal pulses and good capillary refill because of rich co...

INTRODUCTION Anterior elbow dislocation is an infrequent lesion, produced by direct trauma to the proximal ulna after a fall on the elbow in flexion and injury to the neurovascular bundle is not infrequent. Authors report a case of acute anterior dislocation of the elbow joint with neurovascular injury. CASE REPORT A 30-year-old male admitted with a history of accidental fall followed by pain...

Elbow dislocation is relatively uncommon in skeletally immature patients. Numerous reports describe elbow dislocations in children with or without associated fractures. These dislocations are most commonly posterior, although other types have been described, and are usually associated with fractures around the elbow. Isolated elbow dislocation is a very uncommon injury especially in children. T...

This study was conducted to explore epidemiologic features of traumatic elbow dislocation with associated fractures in pediatric population following appropriate treatment options.Incidence of elbow dislocation with associated fractures was analyzed in 67 children using elbow radiographs. Treatment for the displaced elbow joint was performed by closed reduction and proper immobilization. Surgic...
