Abstract:- Coincidence of ipsilateral posterolateral elbow dislocation and distal radial fracture is very rare. Herein we present an 84-year-old female who had an unusual case of ipsilateral fracture of distal radius and posterolateral elbow dislocation. Closed reduction was immediately performed under sedation. A long arm cast was applied for immobilisation. In the sixth month, the patient regained full flexion-extension of the elbow and wrist, and full pronation-supination of the forearm. As we report good results of our patient, we can offer closed reduction and long arm cast for the treatment of İpsilateral posterolateral elbow dislocation and distal radial fracture.
Key Words:- Elbow dislocation, Distal radial fracture, Ipsilateral, Treatment.
