Background: “Floating forearm” injuries, perilunate injuries, with an elbow dislocation, are rare and challenging to treat. Methods: We present the case of an unusual variant of a floating forearm injury, trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation and elbow dislocation, with a concomitant open both-bone forearm fracture after a fall from a ladder. Treatment involved irrigation and debridement of the forearm wound, open reduction and internal fixation of the forearm and perilunate injury, and closed reduction of the elbow. Results: At final follow-up, he had returned to his previous occupation. Radiographs demonstrated fully healing fractures without evidence of osteonecrosis or degeneration. Conclusions: A review of the presentation, evaluation, and management of this rare injury pattern is provided.

Monteggia fractures are uncommon injuries, despite a high incidence of upper limb fractures in teenage children. We describe a case of a type 2 Monteggia variant in an adolescent. This injury pattern consisted of ulnohumeral dislocation in combination with type 2 Monteggia lesion. We discuss the possible injury mechanisms of this rare injury and review available literature.

<p class="abstract">Anterior ankle dislocation with associated compound bi-malleolar fracture is a rare injury. Ankle fracture dislocations most frequently occurs in young males caused by high energy trauma. The direction of the joint dislocation is determined by the position of the foot and the direction of the force being applied. A middle aged male presented to us with history of road traffic accident and was diagnosed to have anterior dislocation of right ankle joint with compound bi-malleolar fracture. Patient was taken to emergency operation theatre for wound debridement and immediate ankle reduction done under sedation. Due to wound contamination fracture fixation was delayed, once the wound healed bi-malleolar fracture fixation was done.</p>

The Bosworth ankle fracture-dislocation is a rare injury and is often irreducible because of an entrapped proximal fragment of the fibula behind the posterior tibial tubercle. Repeated closed reduction or delayed open reduction may result in several complications. Thus, early open reduction and internal fixation enable a better outcome by minimizing soft-tissue damage. We report on a 27-year-old man who underwent open reduction and internal fixation after multiple attempts at failed closed reduction, complicated by severe soft-tissue swelling, rhabdomyolysis, and delayed peroneal nerve palsy around the ankle.
