AbstractThe aim of this study was to report the outcome in a 6-year-old male English Setter dog that suffered a combination of divergent elbow dislocation and open distal ulnar fracture. This study is a case report. After surgical reduction in the elbow luxation, the dog was treated with the TightRope fixation system used as replacement of the lateral collateral ligament, a radioulnar positional screw, and external skeletal fixation. Removal of all implants was performed 3 months postoperatively. The 6-month follow-up visit found the dog without lameness, displaying normal activity, and with normal elbow range of motion and normal Campbell's test. Successful surgical management was achieved with good long-term results using TightRope, a positional screw, and an external skeletal fixator.

Unusual Amount

A case of median nerve paralysis due to intra-articular entrapment occurring after closed reduction of a dislocation of the elbow joint is reported. In the present case, as in most other reported cases, diagnosis and treatment was delayed. If median nerve paralysis occurs following elbow dislocation and is accompanied by an unusual amount of pain, or if it occurs following reduction, entrapment should be suspected and the nerve explored without delay.

The old unreduced elbow dislocation is not very frequent, but when it is found, it is a challenge for every surgeon. We present a case of 65 years old man who came to the hospital with a dislocated elbow. After the first attempt to reduce, the elbow was mobilized in sling for 2 weeks, but during a small effort, the joint dislocated again. Another two orthopedic reduction were tried, followed by cast immobilization, but the elbow dislocated again. The patient presented in our service after two months from the injury with stiff joint in a vicious position. On imagistic examinations (Rx, CT, MRI), it was found comminuted fracture of coronoid process, posterior dislocation of olecranon and both collateral ligaments were torn. An open reduction was performed during which the joint surface was cleaned up, the anterior capsule was reattached to the coronoid process with an anchor, and then, collateral ligament was restored with the help of autograft, a gracilis muscle (bone fixed with two anchors). Postoperatively, the patient slowly began to mobilize the elbow with splint protection. After a year, the patient returned for follow-up; the function was completely restored and he had no pain.

BACKGROUND: Congenital posterior elbow dislocation in children is a rare and scarcely reported condition. Owing to the difficulties of an early primary diagnosis and the lack of a standardized management, we present a clinical case of an analysis of surgical treatment according to literature and based on our experience. CLINICAL CASE: We present a case of congenital posterior elbow dislocation in a 7-year-old child. In the absence of a universal algorithm for surgical treatment, we performed an arthrotomy for visual assessment of articular surfaces, intervention on the capsule and tendons of m. brachialis, m. biceps brachii, m. brachioradialis, and modeling of the proximal epiphysis of the right radius. DISCUSSION: We analyzed surgical treatment options and made an overview of the main stabilizers of the elbow joint that prevent elbow dislocations. There are few publications on this condition; to our knowledge, over the past 10 years, only two clinical cases of a similar pathology in children had been published. Not a single case of congenital elbow dislocation in the neonatal period has been described. We analyzed early clinical manifestations and possible causes of delayed primary diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Recurrent posterior elbow dislocation of the congenital origin is associated with a functional deficiency of elbow joint stabilizers. In the neonatal period, these abnormalities are usually not detected. The first episode of dislocation may be triggered by a minor trauma without damaging the bone structures. Delayed primary diagnosis may be associated with the paucity of clinical symptoms and compensatory functionality in children. The decision on surgical correction should be based on the analysis of structural anatomical changes in the assessment, of which magnetic resonance imaging plays an important role.

Inveterate elbow dislocations remain common in developing countries. We report the case of a 17-year-old child who consulted us after six months of trauma to the left elbow. Clinical examination revealed a deformed elbow, locked in extension with a mobility sector of 5°. The Mayo Clinic Elbow performance score was sixty-six; the downstream vasculo-nervous examination was normal. The face and profile X-ray of the elbow showed a pure posterolateral elbow dislocation. We used the posterior medial para-tricipital and lateral approach, a first stage of arthrolysis was performed. A complete reduction was achieved by progressive and non-traumatic gentle maneuvers. Intraoperative elbow flexion was less than 80°, indicating a retraction of the triceps muscle, so a Z-lengthening plasty was necessary. This reduction was then fixed with two olecranon-humeral K-wires. At the third week, the plaster cast and K-wires were removed. The patient was subsequently referred to a physical therapist. After a ten-month follow-up, an undistorted and functional elbow with a gain of twenty-one points according to the Mayo Clinic score was obtained. Surgical reduction of a neglected elbow dislocation with triceps lengthening plasty, followed by a codified physical therapy program, results in a remarkable restoration of elbow function and stability.
