    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Traumatology
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Elbow dislocations are common injuries.
    • Understanding injury patterns is crucial for prevention and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the epidemiology of elbow dislocations in Malmö.
    • To identify demographic and activity-related factors associated with these injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 178 elbow dislocations.
    • Data collected over a 12-year period in Malmö.
    • Inclusion of dislocations with and without associated fractures.

    Main Results:

    • A total of 178 elbow dislocations were recorded.
    • Injuries showed a slight preponderance for the left side.
    • No significant difference in injury rates between sexes.
    • Most frequent in young individuals, often during sports activities.

    Conclusions:

    • Elbow dislocations are predominantly seen in young athletes.
    • Left-sided injuries are slightly more common.
    • Further research into sports-related injury prevention is warranted.
