Abstract

Congenital dislocation of the radial head is the most common congenital anomaly of the elbow though it is rare. It is mostly posterior (70%) with remainder being anterior (15%) or lateral (15%). Treatment either involves early reduction and annular ligament reconstruction or delayed surgery after skeletal maturity by radial head excision. We evaluated the radiographic and functional results in a 6-year-old girl with congenital radial head dislocation by biceps lengthening and annular ligament reconstruction using forearm fascia.
