Irreducible Radial Head Dislocation in a Child: A Case Report

Author and Disclosure Information

Abstract not available. Introduction provided instead.

Pediatric elbow trauma and fractures account for a third of all limb fractures. Although the mainstay for most pediatric upper extremity fractures and dislocations remains closed treatment, certain injuries will need operative fixation. In fact, failed attempts for closed management of pediatric injuries are often the indications for surgery. We present a case of irreducible radial head dislocation in a young child.
