Popis: Key Clinical Message In LMICs, the nonoperative management of posterior elbow dislocation associated with radial head fracture is still a therapeutic option with favorable outcomes. Abstract Elbow dislocation associated with radial head fracture is a rare lesion. The occurrence of such a lesion requires high energy trauma. The restoration of joint and radial head fracture that allows early mobilization is the best guarantee of a good functional outcome. We report a case of posterior elbow dislocation associated with radial head fracture managed by closed reduction and 1 week cast immobilization in neutral prono‐supination and 90°flexion followed by early mobilization was performed favorable functional outcome was obtained after 12 weeks. We review the different pattern of elbow dislocation and question the need of open reduction and internal fixation for displaced radial head fractures.
