This case report details a rare bipolar forearm dislocation involving elbow and wrist injuries. Prompt surgical intervention led to satisfactory functional recovery of the elbow and wrist.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Management
  • Case Report

Background:

  • Bipolar forearm dislocation is a rare and complex injury pattern.
  • This specific combination of elbow and wrist injuries presents significant management challenges.

Observation:

  • A 23-year-old patient sustained a divergent elbow dislocation, radial head fracture, ulna fracture, perilunate dislocation, and scaphoid fracture after a fall.
  • The injury was characterized as a bipolar dislocation of the forearm.

Findings:

  • Emergency management included closed reduction of the elbow, ulna osteosynthesis, scaphoid internal fixation, and wrist K-wiring.
  • At 26 months post-injury, the patient demonstrated satisfactory elbow function and a wrist range of motion from 50° flexion to 40° extension.
  • Radiographic evidence showed satisfactory scaphoid healing.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the successful management of a rare, complex bipolar forearm dislocation.
  • The findings underscore the importance of prompt and comprehensive surgical intervention for achieving favorable functional outcomes in severe upper extremity trauma.
  • Such rare injury patterns warrant further investigation and reporting to enhance understanding and treatment strategies in orthopedic trauma.
