Fracture of the upper radius with ipsilateral dislocations of the elbow and superior radio-ulnar joints : A case report

We report the rare combination of a closed fracture of the upper third of the radius with ipsilateral posterior dislocation of the elbow joint and disruption of the superior radio-ulnar joint. Although in the Bado classification there is a fourth type that describes fractures of both radius and ulna...

Summary:We report the rare combination of a closed fracture of the upper third of the radius with ipsilateral posterior dislocation of the elbow joint and disruption of the superior radio-ulnar joint. Although in the Bado classification there is a fourth type that describes fractures of both radius and ulna with dislocation of the superior radio-ulnar joint, it does not include the injury we report. We review of the literature and put forward an extension of Bado's classification so that fractures of either, or both, the radius and ulna associated with pericubital dislocations will be included.
