Abstract

  Elbow dislocations in the paediatric age group are very rare, as similar forces tend to cause supracondylar fractures also. Closed dislocations are an emergency and should be reduced as quickly as possible. The reduction techniques are rather simple and safe. The aim of our study was to analyse the outcomes (functional and clinical results) of isolated elbow dislocations in children. Our results showed that most cases can be treated safely with excellent outcomes by closed reduction followed by immobilization with above elbow posterior splint/ simple arm sling and then physiotherapy.
