ABSTRACT Simultaneous ipsilateral shoulder and elbow joint dislocation is a rare injury. In most reported cases, shoulder joint dislocation was missed and diagnosed at a later time. We present the case of a 30-year-old male who dislocated his ipsilateral shoulder and elbow joint following a motor vehicle accident. Keeping a high index of suspicion, radiographs of both joints were obtained. Unde...

INTRODUCTION Humeral biepicondylar fracture dislocation is a very rare injury reported only once in English literature by G R Taylor et al. We report a case of humeral biepicondylar fracture dislocation in a 13-year-old girl with a unique mechanism of injury. CASE PRESENTATION A 13-year-old girl presented with trauma elbow. Radiographs showed biepicondylar fracture of humerus with dislocation...

A 10-year-old boy presented with a history of injury to the left upper limb 8 months earlier. He had fallen from a tree and sustained a closed injury to the left elbow and wrist. He received massage from a local osteopath for the initial 3–4 weeks, following which the elbow and wrist were mobilized. The pain and swelling gradually diminished over 8 months, but there was restriction of movement ...

INTRODUCTION Posterior dislocation of the elbow is usually associated with trauma to the joint with a reported incidence of 3%to 6%. Chronic instability is usually symptomatic following the initial injury. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of posterior dislocation of the elbow occurring in a patient while using her arm to lift herself using a monkey pole on the second day following a total h...

Terrible triad of the elbow is characterized as posterior dislocation of the elbow joint accompanied by the fractures of the radial head and coronoid process of the ulna, which is rarely seen in clinical practice, especially because the mild fracture is barely detected by imaging method In this study, we reported one case of serious complex bilateral elbow injury, presenting with unilateral typ...

Background Examination of the incidence of elbow dislocation and subluxation injuries in the collegiate athlete population is limited. Purpose To determine the incidence of elbow dislocation and subluxation injuries in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and investigate the risk factors involved. Study Design Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods All elbow subluxation an...

Elbow injuries continue to rise with increased athletic activity and life expectancy. Knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics of this sophisticated joint, various injury patterns, and the implication of injury to the static and dynamic stabilizers will result in improvement in specific diagnosis, and therapy. The surgical treatment of trauma to the adult elbow has evolved rapidly in recent years ...

RATIONALE Elbow injury in children by improper treatment or a delay of more than 3 weeks could lead to old unreduced Monteggia fracture, which are difficult to manage. Conservative or normal surgical methods usually fail. PATIENT CONCERNS Herein, we present a 6-year-old boy with sustaining injury approximately 1 month to his left elbow. Activity in his elbow was restricted, and his ability to...
