title: [Purely lateral elbow dislocation in a child, case report and literature review].
abstract: Elbow dislocation is a rare condition in children usually associated with medial epicondyle fractures. Most dislocations are posterior, lateral dislocations are only anecdotal. We report the case of a 14-year-old boy presenting with incomplete purely lateral elbow dislocation. Good reduction was achieved by closed method. The authors present a review of the literature highlighting the characteristics and treatment options of this condition.
