Abstract:

We report a case of post-traumatic isolated posterior dislocation of the radial head in a 28-year-old following a sports trauma in a volleyball match with a hyperpronated fall of the right elbow, the patients were immobilized for 15 days in a 100 brachio-antebrachio-palmar cast. After one year, clinical examination revealed amplitudes comparable to those of the contralateral elbow. Only 20 cases of radial head dislocation in adults have been reported in 40 years, with no real therapeutic recommendations. Thirteen of these was reduced in the ER without surgical intervention and without recurrence at the last follow up.
