    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Medical Case Studies

    Background:

    • Habitual elbow dislocation is a rare condition characterized by recurrent joint instability.
    • This instability can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and functional mobility.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of habitual elbow dislocation were observed in patients with intellectual disabilities.
    • These patients presented with chronic joint instability requiring surgical intervention.

    Findings:

    • The study discusses the etiology and surgical management strategies for habitual elbow dislocation in this specific population.
    • Relevant literature on elbow instability and its management in patients with cognitive impairments was reviewed.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the unique challenges associated with treating habitual elbow dislocation in mentally deficient patients is crucial.
    • This review may inform surgical decision-making and improve outcomes for similar cases.
