Ipsilateral Fracture Dislocation of the Radial Shaft Head Associated with Elbow Dislocation

Abstract

A severe form of an extremely unusual injury, ipsilateral fracture dislocation of the radial shaft head associated with elbow dislocation, is described. Radial shaft fracture was irreducible even after the radial head and the elbow were reduced. Open reduction and internal fixation are viable options.

Diaphyseal Fracture of the Radius With Dislocation of the Proximal Radioulnar Joint

“…[13][14][15][16][17] When this occurs, there is typically a fracture of the radial shaft with dislocation of the proximal radioulnar joint and dislocation of the ulnohumeral joint as well. It is possible that some of our patients had this type of injury with spontaneous relocation of the elbow joint.…”

Ulnohumeral dislocation despite intact radiocapitellar joint: a rare Monteggia variant

“…2 Other injury patterns have been reported, especially in the growing patient. [3][4][5][6][7] . A few cases have been reported having radial shaft fractures combined with ulnohumeral dislocation but intact radiocapitellar joint.…”
