Abstract

In 2022, a 35-year-old woman who had fallen and hit her right elbow came to the emergency room. The swelling was visible during observation. Due to pain, the range of motion was significantly limited throughout the evaluation. Radiography revealed that this elbow dislocation was posterior. A CT scan was used to confirm it, and the imaging revealed a broken radial head and dislocation (posterior) of the right elbow. In this instance, a posterior elbow dislocation with a comminuted radial head fracture is treated by reducing the elbow dislocation and replacing the radial head. Such management offers greater flexibility and stability
