    Author: Daoudi A, Elibrahimi A, Loudiyi WD, Elmrini A, Chakour K, Boutayeb F.
    Journal: Chir Main; 2009 Feb; 28(1):53-6. PubMed ID: 19152789.
    Abstract:
    Bipolar dislocation of the forearm or floating forearm is a rare injury. It combines concomitant elbow and wrist dislocation. Only six cases have been reported in the literature. The diagnosis of wrist dislocation may initially be missed and therefore the prognosis will be worse. The authors report a case of a bipolar dislocation with a posterior dislocation of the elbow and a perilunate dislocation of the wrist.
