Lateral View of Posterior Dislocation elbow

The image shows a posterior dislcation of elbow. This is xray of a 60 nyears old woman who suffered household rauma but did not take any treatment for 4 weeks. There are some bone fragments visible too.

Note:

All dislocations are emergency. This elbow was neglected for 4 weeks and could not be reduced with closed methods. It was operated and funtional outcome is acceptable.

To avoid all kind of complications, all dislocations should be reduced immeditely. But the first step in that is to seek medical help.
