title: Isolated radial head dislocation, a rare and easily missed injury in the presence of major distracting injuries: a case report.
abstract: High velocity accidents can lead to major injuries - long bone fractures, abdominal trauma, pelvic fractures and chest injuries. These injuries can act as distracting factors during the initial assessment of a polytrauma patient and innocuous but significant smaller injuries can be missed. We present a rare case of isolated anterolateral radial head dislocation in a polytrauma patient.
