Radial Head Incarceration After Closed Reduction of a Pediatric Elbow Dislocation With a Radial Neck Fracture: A Case Report.

Displacement of the radial neck fracture from impingement of the capitellum on the anterior radial head during closed reduction of the elbow dislocation is a rare injury pattern. It is important to examine the radial neck in high-energy posterior elbow dislocations before attempted reduction. We present a case with imaging depicting the injury mechanism and successful management with subsequent open reduction and fixation of the radial neck fracture.
