“…Although it can be caused by a simple fall in a child, high-velocity trauma generally occurs in adults 31 . This injury is classified into the following 3 types: transverse dislocation 1,8 , anteroposterior dislocation 35 , and radioulnar translocation 29 . Kasse et al described more coronoid fractures in the posterior transverse dislocation and more radial head fractures in the posterior radioulnar translocation 31 .…”

Case: A 32-year-old man with Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS) fell while snowboarding and injured his right elbow. Radiography revealed a posterior dislocation of the elbow and a proximal radioulnar joint dislocation. A diagnosis of transverse divergent dislocation of the elbow was established. Open reduction and repair of the annular ligament, anterior oblique ligament, and capsule was performed with good clinical results. Conclusion: This is the first report of divergent dislocation of the elbow in an adult with EDS. Dislocation occurred without a fracture that required open reduction and internal fixation. The presence of soft-tissue fragility, hyperextension, and joint laxity peculiar to EDS are likely contributing factors to this phenomenon.

“…This usually involves dislocation at the humeroulnar articulation. Divergent dislocation involving simultaneous dislocation of the humeroulnar, humeroradial and the proximal radioulnar joints is an uncommon injury [3][4][5][6][7]. The injury is extremely rare in adults with just one case described in literature [4].…”

“…This type of dislocation is sometimes associated with fracture of the forearm bones. The fractures include both bones of the forearm [3], ipsilateral distal radial epiphyseal injury [5], ipsilateral distal radial fracture [6] and ipsilateral distal radioulnar joint dislocation [7]. The management of the injury involves closed reduction of the dislocation although open reduction has been necessary in a few cases.…”

Introduction: Floating bone injury or bipolar dislocation is a concurrent dislocation at both ends of a long bone or a flat bone. It is an exceptional injury. We report 11 consecutives cases of floating bones. Objectives: The aim of the study is to analyze the frequency, the mechanism of injury and clinical forms of floating bones, and to present the results of their management. Material and Methods: A ten years ongoing retrospective study was held in four trauma departments. Eleven cases of floating bones were identified. The floating bones characteristics such as the injured bone, the patient age and sex, the mechanism of injury, the dislocations directions, the associated complications, the treatment and the outcome were studied. Results: Nine male and two female patients, with a mean age of 37 years [19 -65 years range] presented a concurrent bipolar dislocation of one bone or a group of bones. They sustained a road traffic accident (n = 5), a workplace accident (n = 3), a fall from height (n = 2), and a sport accident (n = 1). The clavicle (n = 3) and the first metatarsal (n = 3) were the most frequently involved. The others floating bones were the radius-ulna complex (n = 1), the radius-lunatum complex (n = 1), the first metacarpal (n = 1), the first phalanx (n = 1) and the femur (n = 1). The floating bones ends displacement occurred in the sagittal plane (the forearm, the femur, the first phalanx and the first metatarsal) and in the horizontal plane (the clavicle, the first metatarsal and the first metacarpal). We defined direction displacements as bidirectional asymmetric (n = 10) or unidirectional symmetric (n = 1). Associated complications were fractures (wrist, hip, tarso-metatarsal joints) and wounds (fingers, metatarso-phalangeal joint). Dislocations were treated conservatively (n = 5) and surgically (n = 17) with excellent results (n = 13/16 joints). Three patients were lost of view. Conclusion: Our study described the characteristics of How to cite this paper: Kasse, A.N.,
