ABSTRACT
CASE Neglected elbow dislocation and radial neck malunion frequently result in chronic pain, instability, and early arthrosis. These complications are best prevented by early treatment with open reduction, corrective osteotomy, and ligament reconstruction, followed by early supervised physiotherapy. We present a peculiar case with neglected complex elbow dislocation and radial head malunion. In this case, we performed an open reduction of the elbow joint and radial neck corrective osteotomy, medial collateral ligament, annular ligament reconstruction, and lateral collateral ligament repair. CONCLUSION:
Neglected complex elbow dislocations require reconstruction of both ligamentous and osseous structures to achieve a good functional outcome.
