    AbstractThe authors describe an uncommon injury of the upper limb, namely, dislocation of the elbow with fracture of the ipsilateral radial shaft, in a young man. After closed reduction of the joint, the radial head was found to be subluxated, and when a nonanatomic internal fixation of the radial shaft was undertaken, the radial head became dislocated. Repeat operation with removal of the implants and internal fixation with correction of rotation and angulation at the fracture site and reconstruction of the annular ligament restored normal anatomy.
