title: [Divergent dislocation of the elbow in an adolescent. A case report].
abstract: A case of simultaneous proximal radio ulnar joint divergent dislocation combined with a bone avulsion of the coronoid apophysis of the same elbow in a 16 years-old girl is presented. After a closed reduction and two weeks of plaster immobilization, normal function of the elbow was recovered within three months. There are only ten cases reported of such a divergent elbow dislocation in modern literature.
