Convergent and divergent dislocation of the pediatric elbow: two case reports and comprehensive review of literature.
2014
Abstract Convergent and divergent pediatric elbow dislocations are rare injuries. When properly diagnosed and treated without delay, both types of dislocations have a good prognosis. We describe a case of convergent elbow dislocation in a 16-year-old boy. The patient underwent operative intervention and demonstrated full range of motion at the 4-year follow-up. Our second case describes an 11-year-old boy with a divergent elbow dislocation associated with an ipsilateral distal radius fracture and distal radioulnar joint dislocation. The patient showed full range of motion 1 year after closed reduction and casting and had no residual deformities or abnormalties.
