title: Simultaneous dislocation of the radiocapitellar and distal radioulnar joints without fracture: case report.
abstract: Simultaneous dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint and the radial head without fracture is an uncommon injury. Prior reports have described closed treatment of this injury. We report a case of paired dislocation without fracture that required open reduction of both articulations in the acute setting. Potential mechanisms responsible for this pattern and recommendations for management of similar patients are described.
