[Anterior dislocation of the elbow joint without peri-articular fracture in an adult]. / Une luxation antérieure du coude sans fracture péri-articulaire chez un adulte.

In view of the comparative frequency of posterior dislocations of the elbow, it is rather remarkable that anterior dislocations of that joint should be among the rarest of injuries [1]. Our case is one of the first cases of anterior dislocation of the elbow without any periarticular fracture or pre-existing deformities around the elbow [2].
