“…From the available literatures, we could identify few common mechanisms for anterior elbow dislocation (table 2). 4 5 8–10 12–14 We feel that in our patient a combination of torsional and distraction force occurred when the bus suddenly jumped over the hump during which he lost his balance (torsion) and fell on the stepping board (distraction) while still holding onto the railing.…”

Anterior elbow dislocation without periarticular fracture (simple dislocation) is an extremely rare injury and is usually caused by distraction or torsional forces. It is important to look for associated ligamentous and musculotendinous injuries in this pattern. We report an elderly patient who sustained simple anterior dislocation of the elbow and in whom successful closed reduction could be achieved. Reduction by closed method is possible if we know the exact mechanism of elbow injury. Despite the presence of medial collateral ligament injury, he was managed non-operatively and had full functional recovery. Checking for joint stability and collateral ligaments after reduction and getting additional radiological investigations help in better treatment planning. Early protected active mobilisation should be initiated to achieve better functional results.
