AbstractRadial head dislocations are uncommon in adults. They are commonly seen in children and are generally associated with proximal ulna fracture. Radial head dislocation with associated proximal radial shaft fracture is rarer than isolated radial head dislocation in adults. Due to the rarity of this complex injury, in the absence of keen observation and meticulous attention, the correct diagnosis might be missed leading to unsatisfactory management and related complications. Here, a similar case of radial head dislocation with associated proximal radial shaft fracture has been presented.
