title: [Inveterate radio-humeral dislocation in children. Case report and literature review].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Radio-humeral dislocation is rare, as it generally occurs with ulnar fracture. It is unusual in children and chronic lesions are even more unusual.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Report of a case, its treatment and two-year follow-up.
  
  
  METHODS
  Treatment consisted of open reduction and annular ligamentoplasty with fascia lata allograft, maintaining the reduction with a Kirschner nail for 6 weeks. The latter was then removed and rehabilitation was started.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The two-year follow-up report stated that the child has resumed his activities at school and his physical activity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The authors report that the techniques used to approach inveterate lesions should include shortening the ulna to be able to reduce the radius and maintain it. The standard technique was modified and good results were obtained.
