Even though posterior or postero-lateral dislocations of elbow are more common, both isolatedmedial and lateral dislocations of elbow are extremely uncommon. Since there are subtle findingsand minimum pain after medial dislocation of elbow, these are sometimes missed by attendingphysician at first presentation and changes into chronic type with guarded prognosis. We report acase of a 15-year old boy with isolated medial dislocation of elbow which was correctly identified andtreated with closed reduction and posterior slab application. Flexion extension as well as supinationpronation of elbow 3 months after injury was nearly normal.
