  • Title: [Bilateral elbow dislocation related to Essex-Lopresti injury].
    Author: Romero Pérez B, Marcos García A, Medina Henríquez JA, Muratore Moreno G.
    Journal: Rev Esp Cir Ortop Traumatol; 2012; 56(1):59-62. PubMed ID: 23177945.
    Abstract:
    Elbow dislocation is second in frequency, after the shoulder, whereas bilateral dislocation is uncommon, even less than dislocations with concurrent associated fractures. One of the least frequent associations is the Essex-Lopresti injury which consists of a fracture of the radial head affecting the distal radioulnar joint with injury to the interosseous membrane. This is a case of bilateral elbow dislocation, one of the elbows associated with the Essex-Lopresti injury. During treatment, the premature closed reduction prevails, previously making sure the elbow is stable, the premise which will determine the orthopedic or surgical treatment of the injury.
