Abstract

We present three cases of proximal radioulnar translocation in adults. Although rare, it is most commonly seen in paediatric cases. There have been three previously documented cases in adults, all requiring surgery and associated with ulnohumeral dislocations. Two of our cases required operative intervention, whilst one was reduced closed and did not require stabilisation. Furthermore, we have for the first time shown that proximal radioulnar translocations can occur in isolation in adults without an ulnohumeral dislocation.
