Introduction: Elbow dislocations are rarely seen in children. The treatment
and outcomes remains controversial.
Materials and methods: we reported retrospectively the clinical and
functional results elbow dislocations in children treated in Sahloul
university Hospital. Both isolated dislocations and associated with others
injuries were evaluated separately.
Results: Respecting the inclusion criteria, 48 children were selected. No
bilateral injuries were found. Pure dislocations were observed in 19 cases
out of which according to the Robert’s criteria, 13 children (68%) had an
excellent, three (15%) a good, two (10%) a fair, and one (7%) a poor
outcome. From the 29 elbow dislocations associated with other injuries, 3
(10%) had an excellent, 4(13%) a good, 8 (27%) a fair and 14 (50%) a
poor result. Reviewing the functional results, better range of motion was
found in elbow with pure dislocation compared to elbow with
associated injuries.
