The isolated dislocation of the radial head is frequently described in the lesion of MONTEGGIA. However it can be a rare isolated pattern of injury in children. Only 81 cases were reported in the literature to our knowledge. The case we report concerns a 13 years old boy, examined 8 days after injury. Because of failure of manual reduction, we performed a surgical management with excellent results after a year of follow-up. We have discussed treatment option and the results obtained.

“…Isolated traumatic dislocation of the radial head (RH) is a rare injury [1,2]. It has been reported this injury may occur due to a unique dislocation mechanism in which the elbow joint is subjected to varus stress with a specific position in which the forearm is pronated and the elbow is slightly flexed [3].…”

Isolated recurrent dislocation of the radial head (RH) is very rare, and there have been few reports describing the surgical treatment of this injury. We herein report the case of a 13-year-old girl who underwent ligament reconstruction surgery for isolated recurrent RH dislocation. Her symptoms included pain and apprehension at the elbow with the forearm in supination. A radiologic examination revealed anterior dislocation of the RH with the forearm in supination but complete reduction with the forearm in neutral to pronated positions. Surgical treatment to reconstruct the annular ligament and facilitate the radial collateral ligament was performed using an autograft with internal brace augmentation. At a 12-month follow-up examination, the patient had asymptomatic stability with recovery to sports activities. This case report describes a novel technique for the treatment of a rare pathological condition of the elbow.

“…mobilization was encouraged. Classically, the arm is kept in flexion (90 ) and supination (80 to 90 ) in the plaster 3,15 because the distance between the ulna and radius is the highest in supination and the IOM is under maximal tension. 7 However, Skahen et al 13 indicated that peak strain in the central band was noted in neutral forearm rotation in intact specimens, and any attempt at augmentation or reconstruction of the central band should be done in neutral forearm rotation to preserve its rotation.…”
