Successful Closed Manipulation of Simple Lateral Dislocation of the Elbow Joint: A Case Report.

The elbow is the second most commonly dislocated joint in adults. Simple lateral dislocation of the elbow joint is a rare traumatic injury, and successful closed reduction is difficult and even rarer. Our proposition is to report this rare case of traumatic simple lateral dislocation treated with closed reduction under sedation emphasizing the use of this simple technique initially in order to avoid possible complications with general anesthesia and surgery.
