Summary

Proximal radioulnar translocation is a rare elbow dislocation injury. This case highlights a non-iatrogenic cause requiring surgical intervention due to radial head and neck fracture.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Proximal radioulnar translocation is an uncommon elbow dislocation.
  • Previous cases suggest an iatrogenic origin.
  • Diagnosis requires meticulous radiographic assessment.

Observation:

  • A case of non-iatrogenic proximal radioulnar translocation is presented.
  • The injury involved a fracture of the radial head and neck.
  • Mechanical locking of the radial head was a key feature.

Findings:

  • The reported proximal radioulnar translocation was not caused by medical intervention.
  • Surgical intervention, specifically open reduction, was necessary due to the fracture.
  • This case expands the understanding of non-iatrogenic causes of this rare injury.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering non-iatrogenic causes for proximal radioulnar translocation.
  • Emphasizes the need for careful radiographic evaluation to avoid missed diagnoses.
  • Suggests that complex fractures may necessitate surgical management in these cases.
