Best Practice Case Studies-Elbow Dislocation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features Sagar Wagle, a musculoskeletal radiology fellow at Stanford University, discussing two cases of elbow dislocation. A 17-year-old male suffered posterior dislocation of the radial head and ulna following a fall, which was corrected post reduction. A 35-year-old male from a motorcycle accident had a similar dislocation alongside a fracture on the coronoid process of the ulna. A CT scan confirmed the fracture fragment origin, and surgical intervention was necessary to prevent further dislocation. The surgery included repositioning the fracture fragment using fiber wire and suture anchors, and treating ligamentous injury with suture anchors as well.
