主　　题：Radial heads Dislocations Radius fractures 

摘      要：Dislocation of the radial head in adults is uncommon. A simultaneous dislocation of the radial head and fracture of the ipsilateral distal end of radius with no other associated injuries is extremely rare. As far as we know, such an injury after an unusual mode of injury has been seldom reported in the English literature. We report such a case without any associated injuries or comorbidity. Closed reduction was performed within two hours after injury and results were satisfactory. Immobilisation was continued for3 weeks. Gradual mobilisation was started after removal of the plaster under the supervision of a physiotherapist. At 6 months＇ follow-up, the patient had no residual pain at the elbow with full flexion ＆ extension. Almost full supination with a restriction of last 10 degrees of pronation was achieved. There was no evidence of instability of the elbow.
