Simultaneous dislocation of the elbow and the proximal radio-ulnar joint

Abstract

Simultaneous dislocation of the elbow and the proximal radio-ulnar joint is rare. Two children with this uncommon injury are reported. One child had a transverse divergent dislocation that was treated successfully by closed reduction. The other had a convergent dislocation (or translocation of the radius and ulna) which needed open reduction. Convergent dislocation is even rarer than transverse divergent dislocation, and this is believed to be the first time it has been reported.
