Congenital and acquired radial head dislocations present unique challenges. While acute traumatic dislocations are often successfully treated with closed reduction, congenital types and late-diagnosed traumatic dislocations typically require surgical intervention, such as radial head excision.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Isolated radial head dislocation is a rare condition.
  • It can be congenital or acquired, with varied etiologies.
  • Congenital types include familial, synostosis-related, and syndrome-related dislocations.
  • Acquired types stem from trauma, neuromuscular issues, or adaptive changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the characteristics and management outcomes of isolated radial head dislocations.
  • To differentiate between congenital and acquired etiologies.
  • To evaluate treatment success rates for different types and presentations.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 54 patients with isolated radial head dislocations over 20 years.

  • Classification of dislocations into congenital (26 patients) and acquired (28 patients) types.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations, diagnostic methods, and treatment interventions.

    • Main Results:

    • Acute traumatic dislocation was the most common presentation (17 patients).
    • Closed reduction was successful in 16 of 17 acute traumatic dislocations.
    • Realignment attempts for late-diagnosed traumatic and congenital dislocations were unsuccessful, necessitating radial head excision.
    • Four patients underwent primary radial head excision.

    Conclusions:

    • Management of radial head dislocations depends on etiology and timing of diagnosis.
    • Prompt closed reduction is effective for acute traumatic dislocations.
    • Congenital and late-presenting traumatic dislocations often require surgical management, including radial head excision.
