Posterior Ulno-Humeral Dislocation with Radioulnar Shaft Fracture: Case Report and Literature Review
The occurrence of radioulnar shaft fracture and elbow dislocation simultaneously is not a usual event, and it has only been reported in a few studies. This study aimed to report a case with posterior ulno-humeral joint dislocation and concomitant radioulnar shaft fracture. Furthermore, in a literature review, we summarized other studies that reported this kind of fracture-dislocation and the treatment chosen in each study.
Case Report:
A 12-year-old boy was admitted to the emergency department due to high-energy trauma following a car accident while cycling. Open fracture of the left radioulnar shaft and posterior dislocation of the left elbow were detected.
More studies are required to advance our knowledge about this kind of fracture-dislocation, especially its mechanism of injury. Subsequent examinations can help us design an efficient classification system and determine the best treatment option for radioulnar shaft fracture with elbow dislocation.
