  • Title: [Combined fracture-dislocation of both bones of the forearm at the elbow (author's transl)].
    Author: Marotte JH, Samuel P, Lord G, Blanchard JP, Guillamon JL.
    Journal: Rev Chir Orthop Reparatrice Appar Mot; 1982; 68(2):103-14. PubMed ID: 6211743.
    Abstract:
    The authors have studied a particular type of traumatic lesion of the elbow which combines a fracture of the olecranon with a dislocation of both bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna remaining normally aligned to one another. The displacement was either forward (4 cases) or backward (6 cases). In some cases a partial fracture of the radial head or the lateral condyle of the humerus was also present and resulted in considerable instability. Internal fixation should always be tried but was not always possible. In one case a pedicle transplant of the medial epicondyle was made to restore a fractured coronoid process.
