Abstract:
We report a case of bilateral dislocation of the elbow in a 53 year-old patient. This trauma condition is rare and no often discussed in the literature. It was treated orthopedically 24 hours after the trauma occurred. The orthopedic reduction under General anesthesia despite the delayed management offered a good reduction of both dislocations and a good functional result of both elbows observed 8 months following the treatment.
