“…Elbow is generally held in 10e15 of flexion with forearm in Conventionally open reduction of radial head is not recommended because of the adaptive changes in the radial head and Proximal Radioulnar Joint (PRUJ), but recent reports have shown some encouraging results of ulnar osteotomy and radial head relocation in carefully selected patients. 59,60 Radial head excision is an option in adult patients, and it is known to improve pain and removes the bump, but rotational movements do not improve. 61 Patients should be alerted about the long-term effects of radial head excision such as cubitus valgus and proximal migration of radius leading to wrist pain.…”

Elbow injuries are common in children and while majority heal very well, some result in deformities of the elbow. Although deformities such as cubitus varus and non-progressive cubitus valgus are considered cosmetic by the paediatric orthopaedic surgeons and intentionally ignored, they are not always benign and can result in functional deficit due to instability, pain, tardy nerve palsies and osteoarthritis later in life. Similarly congenital and developmental conditions that do not cause major functional loss in childhood, become very disabling in adults due to increasing functional demands. Congenital radial head dislocation and radioulnar synostosis fall into this category. In this paper we discuss clinical presentation, treatment options and outcomes of common elbow conditions presenting later in the life.

“…While the majority of the literature has covered the surgical correction of these dislocations, only one case has described the treatment of a fracture with a congenital dislocation. However, no case report has described a luxation in patients with congenital dislocation 3 6–8. Therefore, the goal of this case report is to identify and recognise patients with a traumatic dislocation of the radial head or ulnohumeral joint, which can be combined with a congenital dislocation of the radial head.…”

Elbow luxation in a patient with congenital dislocation of the radial head

Elbow dislocations are commonly seen and can occur after trauma or be congenital. The literature on congenital dislocations is scarce. No cases of an additional luxation of a pre-existing congenital radial head dislocation with a traumatic ulnohumeral dislocation have been described. This case involves a young man with no prior history who presented after trauma of the right elbow. He presented with pain, and his radial head was palpable behind the olecranon, and on imaging it appeared to be more proximal. After additional imaging, the dislocation of the radial head turned out to be congenital combined with an additional luxation of the ulna. This finding influenced our diagnostic approach and reposition method, which, instead of only traction–countertraction, also included pronation and supination.This case highlights the clinical importance of identifying and recognising a patient with a congenital dislocation of the radial head and an additional luxation of the elbow.
