Abstract des Autors
Clinically, diagnosing elbow dislocation is not difficult, although a supracondylar fracture of the humerus can mimic an elbow dislocation in a young patient. Fractures are common with elbow dislocations; neurovascular injury is uncommon but potentially disastrous if unrecognized. A careful neurovascular examination, therefore, is imperative both before and after reduction. Most dislocations can be treated nonoperatively with emphasis on early motion during rehabilitation.
