Proximal radioulnar transposition in an elbow dislocation.
Proximal radioulnar transposition in an elbow dislocation is rare. Only three cases have been recorded. Translocation can easily be missed unless radiographs are carefully examined. Proximal radioulnar translocation has been believed to be iatrogenic. The injury we report was not iatrogenic, and mechanical locking of radial head and neck fracture necessitated open reduction.
