Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Pediatric Traumatology

Background:

Traumatic radial head dislocation is an uncommon injury in pediatric patients.
Literature review reveals limited documented cases, highlighting its rarity.

Observation:

A case of traumatic radial head dislocation in an 8-year-old girl is detailed.
The injury involved significant trauma requiring reduction.

Findings:

The case underscores the importance of meticulous radiographic assessment following reduction.
Subtle radiographic findings can indicate incomplete reduction or associated injuries.

Implications:

Accurate interpretation of post-reduction radiographs is vital to prevent chronic pain and functional limitations.
