45 years old lady came to out patient department with a history of fall from two wheeler 3 days back and complained of swelling in left elbow and inability to use the limb.

On examination there was tenderness around the elbow and any movement elicited the pain. An xray of elbow that she had carried along revealed following picture.

Though the xray is not of good quality, it is able to show the dislocation and radial neck fracture.
The patient was offered treatment by closed reduction of elbow and if required open reduction and fixation of radial neck.

Patient due to some personal reasons refused the treatment. She did not visit in follow up also.
