Good functional recovery after bilateral elbow dislocation associated with bilateral distal radius and ulna fractures

Clin Case Rep. 2022 Mar 24;10(3):e05439. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5439. eCollection 2022 Mar.

Abstract

Bilateral elbow dislocation associated with bilateral distal forearm fractures is extremely rare, therefore its optimal treatment, complications, and outcomes remain unclear. We present an illustrative case with a 2-year follow up of a patient who sustained a complex injury of the upper extremity and underwent combined surgical and conservative treatment.

Keywords: bilateral elbow dislocation; bilateral radius and ulna fracture; ligament reconstruction; rehabilitation; treatment.
