  • Title: Recurrent posterior dislocation of the head of the radius in post-traumatic cubitus varus.
    Author: Abe M, Ishizu T, Nagaoka T, Onomura T.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1995 Jul; 77(4):582-5. PubMed ID: 7615602.
    Abstract:
    Four patients who had injured the lower end of the humerus in childhood with resulting cubitus varus developed recurrent posterior dislocation of the head of the radius after further injury to the elbow. Dislocation occurred when the forearm was supinated and spontaneous reduction took place on pronation. At operation the lateral ligament complex was seen to be lax and elongated. After tightening of the ligament and with a supracondylar osteotomy of the humerus to correct the cubitus varus the recurrent dislocation was eliminated.
