    Author: Cai J, Wang W, Yu S, Yan H, Zhan Y, Fan C.
    Journal: Ann Plast Surg; 2016 Jun; 76(6):659-62. PubMed ID: 27171922.
    Abstract:
    We present an unusual case of chronic posttraumatic anteromedial dislocation of radial head with direct ulnar nerve entrapment in a child. Ulnar nerve decompression, open reduction of the radial head, and annular ligament reconstruction using a palmaris longus tendon graft were performed, and a satisfactory functional outcome was achieved at the 15-month follow-up. Through a review of literature, we conclude that early diagnosis and management for radial head dislocation are recommended to avoid nerve symptoms. Besides, open reduction and annular ligament reconstruction with a palmaris longus tendon graft would be an alternative surgery during chronic phase.
